What used a 14 inch rim?

Oct 02, 2003 3 Replies

I went to get tires for the '60 Bug project only to discover that one of my rims is bent so bad that it won't hold air and the other is a 14 inch rim. The



14 inch is a wide five pattern with four narrow slots where the inner rim meets the outer. IS this a VW rim?

Yes, it's a bus rim. Yo may run into some clearance issues due to the different ET.

...I agree, but just to complete your knowledge of what used 14" rims in wide 5 patterns....the Things did as well....though they are NOT the same as the rims used on the busses. ;-) By your slot description (heh heh ....slots are cool..) it does sound like the bus version. ;-)

Thanks Gareth :)

I am now complete! Woohoo!

BTW we don't have many Things here.. I know of only one... built up to resemble a Kübelwagen war vehicle.. sort of.
