actually those modern rims arn't bad, i'd rock them. still have to go for the fuchs though. if they were the same size and offset as the moderns, they'd be killer.

I'm not a big Beetle fan, but I actually think the modern Porsche rims complement the styling quite well. So modern for me please!

I say neither!  Stock VW centres, turned down and welded into 14x6" rims. These ones were made back in the '70s, not by me. This was the old-school way of getting more grip, back in the old days when alloy wheels were really expensive and wide 14" tyres were a common size for high-performance applications! Seen above on my white '70 1500 bug with 195/75R14 tyres, and below on my '72 S-Bug with new 195/70R14 tyres.  |

I actually like modern rims on them, nice to see for a change. nothing against fuchs rims, I love them but have seen them on beetles a fair bit so modern rims make a refreshing change  |

Fat chick bugs
always wear a simple modern
wheel better than their chrome caps.
Probably because of the
bloated bubble like body style that
was popular with other manufacturers around about the
same time simple alloy wheels became common
place among most car manufactures.
Modern for me in this instance.

I'm a big fan of well-chosen modern rims on older cars but I'm afraid I prefer the Fuchs.

Those modern rims are gash. Cosmics. That's what you want for a '69.  |

Simple answer
the ones with the modern rims is how VW should have made the new beetle - none of this messing about with front engines and water in them...
Its not to my taste, i prefer the Fuchs out of the 2, but its nice to see a modern twist on a classic..

Modern rims but with more decluttering of the body.
