According to the parts list once the j-type safety rims were introduced it appears that all replacement rims available from VW were the j type. I would have thought that the chances of ever finding such a rim on a car today would be remote, just because I don't think VW would have sold that many replacement rims, especially for cars that were never sold here. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
