Nice!
Those look really good with the snap-in chrome trim rings available at any FLAPS.

Paint the centers satin black and leave the lips silver. Distinctive and classy.

That would be ahh...NO! I find no sign of impact on them. They all came off of a local car. For 45 yo wheels they're pretty clean

Seems like the ET 40 will not work up front on the '72 1302 model as per the below and both these forums reference an ET26 as being correct for a '72 Type 1

https://shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=144271

and this excerpt from the below link:

"Volkswagen increased standard wheel size in March 1972 from 4J x15 to 4½J x15 and introduced the 5½J x15 Sports rim in 1973, originally for the Yellow and Black Racer and Sports Bug, with an initial ET 26 and soon changed to ET 34"
