I just bought this 73 1.7L, I have never seen these wheels before. I know they are aftermarket but I am hoping someone can help me identify them in the hopes of finding center caps for them. Thanks!

Good thread about those wheels and how to figure out manufacture (could pop one off and look for castings)
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic...ighlight=gurney QUOTE Two things are obviously different between the Western wheel and the Dan Gurney. The valve stem hole is lined up with the spoke on the Western, and lined up with a window on the Gurney. Also, the Western has four small holes for mounting a center cap. The Gurney doesn't. |
