They are called Turtle Back Rims. They were not made by VW! And they are supposed to be black

They where made by Superior Industries in Van Nuys in the late early-mid 70's

BTW- they are worth about $300 but they are missing the center caps. From what I understand, the caps are very rare and will usually bring in twice the price.

You can use empi center caps. They fit

Oh...Git down with your bad self, John. You just let 'em go...and go... and BAM!

It was like the scarecrow in the Wizzard of Oz. "The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side."
