I'm positive that the ~1" w/w was the only available from VW or the dealer for the notch. The only ones I found were Fidelity's (~$30ea) for sale at Lucas Tire (800) 735-0166. They are bias-ply 6.00x15's with a 7/8" w/w. The other option is the new Goodrich 3/4" w/w 165R-15's avialable from Coker (800) 251-6336. They are pricey at $80 ea, but they ride really well (and look great!). You're right, I think the wide w/w's would look a little silly on a notch, IMO. HTH! kevin '63 notch
