Thread: Help ID these wheels?

  1. 09-05-2012 02:30 PM #1
    Posting here because I vaguely remember seeing these before when my uncle was big into air cooled bugs.

    Looking to see if anyone knows the "proper" name or model of these two pairs of wheels. Haven't been able to measure backspace/offset yet but they are steel 15x8 4x100 and fit a early 70s bug. I haven't seen any kind of stampings or markings on them besides one sticker showing "Dukes Wheels, Riverside CA" and my googling didn't turn up anything.

    Thoughts?

    either not 4X100 or not fitting a bug...

    w8 ,those look an awful lot like my late '70's Jackmans

    which I schmoozed a little in order to accomodate early Porsche 944 rear disc brakes(which,BTW ,bolt right onto IRS rear trailing arms ) by re-indexing 'em to accept the Porsche lug pattern



    so they'd also still fit the narrow VW 4 pattern .
    On the chrome ones ,what I'd do is remove a tire & look for some scripted etchings which the tires are covering up if you can't find an ID on the inboard side of 'em .This may also help :

    i had some on my baja back in the late 80's. I always heard them called wagon wheels. I know that probably does not help but....

    I don't think those are Jackmans, I had a set on my bus and the spokes weren't straight (bowed a bit).
