A while back I tossed the track wheels from my rally car up against the bug. Only problem is they don't fit...by a long shot. Going to have to do some machining the wheels, and possibly the rotor.

Made a model of the rotor tonight, tomorrow I've got to add the bearing cap, speedo cable nub and then the wheel (mounting area only). Once I model those up I can quickly determine what needs to be removed from where to allow them to fit. The wheels are 15x6.5, can't recall the offset but I seem to think it was close.
