Take the hubcaps off the 2 rears and lay a 18" straightedge across the ridge in the center disk where the hubcap fit. Slide the straightedge out until it hits the rim and note where it hits. Compare the 2 sides. A straightedge will hit the rim of a type 3 wheel out where the balancing weights go. It will hit quite a bit farther in on a beetle wheel. A LOT of type 3 wheels have been replaced over the years, and most often the replacement they find is a beetle wheel. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
