I picked up a set of 16" oem steelies & had them powdercoated, a set of vintage domed stainless steel hubcaps, german hubcap clips, oem size tires and a set of portawalls and ended up with this:

Man, that looks great , that the look I want to go with but I can't seem to find any out there.
Two ways to go about this. One is the way he described (Check your local junkyards for New Beetles and then check the trunks for often brand new steelies) then get the clips and old VW dog dish caps

ORRRR find a set of Heritage wheels off of the most recent model of Beetle. These will be 5x112 so you will need adaptors, but that will actually push them out to the edge of the wells a bit more for some hellaflush.

Either way not that hard to find.
