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

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"
