The VW Beetle (5C) combines retro design with modern Volkswagen technology. Whether as a coupé or convertible, with TSI petrol or TDI diesel engines – the Beetle has a sporty-compact wheel arch shape and requires technically precisely coordinated winter wheel sets in winter to ensure stability, safety, and traction in snow and wet conditions.
Due to special ET values, different braking systems, and the convertible-specific rear axle load, the selection of suitable winter rims is particularly important.
Reifenshop Landshut offers winter wheels that are 100% compatible with all VW Beetle models.
