Higher spec had disc L41 and rim L87 for '66; disc L43 and rim L282 Lotus white, or L680 Cumulus white (for VW blue) for '67 and '68; disc L43 and rim L581 cloud white for '69.<< Not to beat a dead horse (and this thread is really getting to be one), but I respectfully disagree: as Russ has pointed out the models with deluxe level trim from 64-69 had solid black (or grey-black) wheels because they were meant to have anodized aluminum trim rings. It's the base level trim models that got the contrasting white rim since they didn't get trim rings. It's all in the parts list and I've seen sales brochures that confirm it. You're right about the various white paint codes for the outer wheel rims. In some years VW used warm white for warm body colors and cool white for blue cars. No wheels were painted to match the body color after August 63, at least according to the parts list. Of course there must be exceptions out there. OK, enough trainspotting already...
