If you get a set of wheels free it is worth the trouble, or if you just love a certain look, but otherwise, you're better off buying�a bolt on set offered by one of the vendors.

Hi,
Someone graciously offered, a while back, to help in my pursuit of finding new rims.

I can't find that email so I don't remember who it was. I'm looking at the rims below and wondering if anyone can offer some sagely advise on whether or not they will fit.

The general specs seem to match the "ultimate wheel post" on the samba.
