The classic 911 wheel face translated to the wide-five drum cars in bright chrome, so a 356A/B or early Beetle can wear it too. Four 15 x 4.5 in alloys in the 5x205mm pattern arrive on Yokohama GT Special 145/80R15 radials for a narrow, period-correct stance all around.
Key Features & Benefits
- Complete set of four 15 x 4.5 in 911-style alloy wheels
- Wide-five 5x205mm bolt pattern for 356A/B and early Beetle drums
- Chrome finish on all four wheels
- Mounted to Yokohama GT Special 145/80R15 classic radial tires
- Narrow 4.5 in width front and rear
Vehicle Fitment
Fits the wide-five (5x205) Porsche 356A and 356B from 1956 through 1963, plus the 1950–1967 VW Beetle and 1956–1966 Karmann Ghia. The Pre-A 356 (1950–1955) ran 16-inch wheels, and the 356C/SC (1964–1965) has disc brakes with the 5x130 pattern, so this 5x205 set does not fit them. If you are unsure this fits your car, contact us with your year and model before ordering.
