Okay, because of the logo on the center cap I'm guessing Pedrini, but they're not like any Pedrini I've ever seen. As a matter of fact, I've not seen these wheels on another car. Have yet to take them off and look for clues. Will do that later on this weekend. Curious as to whether anyone has seen these before and any light you can shed on the subject. Thanks to all.

Cheap cast aluminum VW Bug wheel. Probably made in Mexico.

Is it a 'Turtle Back' wheel? Not really sure... but I vaguely remembering seeing one sorta like that and it may have been called something with the word Turtle in it. The Samba might be the place to look.

I got bored and browsed the wheel & tire section on thesamba.com and found out these are in fact called Turtles and here's an ad of these: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=758055

Thanks for the effort. I too have looked on The Samba and in fact you may have seen the thread I posted there asking the same question. The wheels I have are not the same. You perhaps cannot tell from the one picture I posted, but there is no turtle shape or hump to the wheel. It's a flat wheel. I'll take more pictures and post them if I can't find anymore clues on the wheels themselves. Thanks again for the effort.

Other than that the turtles do look very similiar, just dished.
