But will need the 5x100 version
I am looking to add Porsche wheels to our 2009 VW Beetle Convertible. I'm certainly no expert (far from it) and believe that the pcd on my wheels is 5 x 100. I'll check the size tonight. I'd welcome advice on selecting, sourcing and fitting Porsche wheels to another brand. I know some will think it's a bad move. Thanks in advance.

PS. If anyone has some for sale, please let me know.

You could consider some Porsche style wheels made for the VW which might be an easier solution.
Thanks. I looked at this - not a huge amount around, and there do seem to be a lot of 'new' Beetles sporting Porsche alloys on Google images.
I would recommend joining the new beetle page on Facebook, they are a friendly and knowledgeable bunch.
Thank you.
Porsche wheels certainly can fit VW especially the old Fuch Alloys, however you need to check the sizes and Offsets. I image your wheels are 16" or 17" so lots are available, however the issue will be the offset - which can be fixed with spacers.
However you might be better off finding a style of Porsche wheel you like and buying a similar wheel made specifically for a Beetle. I suggest you check out the Fuch and Speedline ranges. Both made wheels for Porsche.

Probably too big for your car but I am going to list on eBay a set of Ruf 8 & 9 x 17 speedlines that I bought new for my narrow body 89 911. Now they are the business!
It's FUCHS wheels btw
Unless they're fuched
Nice
I have 18" Ruf speedlines on my 964. Should be worth a couple of grand if they are in good condition.
17" should fit a VW beatle however tire profile will need to be 35/45. The key however will be the offsets and I have no idea what they are on Beetle.

I think they could be something like £4k new now from RUF and that's if they have them in.Nice
