Well, I've never heard of such a thing and not a soul in this list has even 
remotely hinted at such an 'option', so...  Either it was the dealer who 
offered such an option or the previous owner (PO) pulled a fast-one on ya.  
My guess would be to check out the rims and look for the traditional VW 
stamped into the rim (Jim A., ya think it'd have a part number?).

To determine if they're aluminum or not take a magnet and see it if sticks 
to the rim; if it does stick you know it's steel and not aluminum.  I can't 
imagine an optional wheel package including aluminum rims on a family car, 
let alone a '70s station wagon!

3. Since I am the second owner, I was wondering if anybody has seen the
type of mag wheels that I have. They were part of the option package the
original owner purchased. They are 5 spoke, aluminum alloy I think. Are
they worth anything or worth keeping?
