Tired of your aftermarket aluminum wheels? Looking for a cost-effective way to get back to that stock style? Or just need a spare? Look no further. These silver smoothies look great and won't break the bank. At 5.5" wide, these wheels are 1" wider than the original 15" wheels offered from the factory (see notes below for fitment). They are set up for a 5x205mm bolt pattern and have a 3 7/8" backspacing. These wheels accept the early ('54-65) dome style hubcaps used on Type 1s and 2s, as well as the "flat" caps found on '66-67 Type 1s.

These are the highest quality stock wheels available. They are perfect for most restorations. If you have a concours quality, show restoration, additional work and finishing may be required.

These wheels will work with any of the 15" tire sizes we carry on our site, as well as a variety of other sizes, depending on the vehicle model and application. Our 165R15 tires are the closest tire size available to what was originally offered from the factory (5.60-15).

While it is possible to make them work with modifications, these wheels typically do not fit on the rear of a stock Type 2. We have had customers tell us that the 5.5" inch rims are too wide to clear the fenders on a stock ride height bus.

Don't forget we have a complete offering of hubcaps and lug nuts to go with your new wheels
