You buy your own bus, and do what you want to your bus. I'll do what I want to so with mine. Pissing off purists one modification at at time.

Not sure about "Sun Bugs" but I think they are called "Phone dial rims"

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!
