Datasheet
Description	Rostyle wheels are 15 inch steel-pressed rims that were manufactured in South Africa specifically for Volkswagen Beetles. Based more or less on the design of the EMPI Sprintstar wheels, they were a stylish addition to any Beetle. Since about 1971 until the end of Beetle production in South Africa in 1979, certain models came standard fitted with Rostyle wheels from the VW showroom floor. There was even a twin-carb special edition Beetle, called the 1600SP Beetle, which had 14 inch Rostyle wheels. Later, during the 80's, aftermarket Rostyle wheels could still be purchased for buggies or Baja bugs in 14 or 15 inch sizes, with different widths. They were white epoxy coated. These wheels are still fairly common in South Africa, I'd say about 1 in 3 Beetles have them on. I also saw a different 4-stud Rostyle wheel, made for Ford Cortina/Escort/Capri, but no 130mm PCD 4-stud VW version. The wheel has "GUESTRO Industrie (ltd) pty" markings inside.
