Smoothie VW Rims & Classic Steel Wheels
The Ultimate Vintage Look for Your Air-Cooled Project The "Smoothie" wheel is the undisputed champion of classic Volkswagen styling. Known for its solid, rounded face and ability to host iconic hubcaps, the Smoothie VW rim provides a clean, period-correct aesthetic that defined the early days of the air-cooled movement. At Appletree Auto, we offer high-quality steel smoothie wheels that allow you to achieve that timeless "California Look" or a concours-level restoration with modern reliability.
Available in Iconic Bolt Patterns Whether you are working on a pre-1967 "Wide 5" model or a later 4-lug vehicle, we have the fitment you need to complete your build:
Wide 5 (5x205mm): The essential choice for early Beetles, Buses, and vintage-style Dune Buggies. These rims are designed to accept classic domed hubcaps or baby moons.
4-Lug (4x130mm): A popular upgrade for later Volkswagens looking to capture a vintage vibe without changing hubs or drums.
Finishes for Every Build: Choose from ready-to-paint primer for a custom color-matched look, or high-luster chrome for a standout street presence.
Durability for the Street and the Sand While Smoothie rims are a favorite for street-driven Beetles and Buses, their rugged steel construction makes them a dependable option for off-roaders as well. From "Woods Buggies" to classic Sand Rails, these wheels offer the structural integrity required to handle diverse terrain while maintaining a nostalgic appearance.
