I would so buy a set of these for my winter tires.

Had no idea. I know about a year or two ago they were in demand because they were no longer avaliable and I dont see it on their website any more. 

I just now realized the centercap lock is the bear’s bellybutton 

They still make Ronal Bears

I wouldn’t mount those wheels to my 2018 GTI if someone gave them to me for free.

They should also bring back this classic (they are in such high demand now):

You’re not wrong. In fact I present to you Jalopnik’s own little history lesson on the Beetle:

WRONG!

You’re not wrong. The company started in 1937. It was started under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. Don’t let people whitewash...

More like: those who remember the past are condemned to watching the general population repeat the past.

OttoMaddox, you are unnecessarily downplaying Adolf Hitler’s and the Nazi Party’s essential roles in making a reality of the Beetle and the Volkswagen company. You are parroting the Volkswagen company’s rewriting of history, but it’s just not true. AudiB5Hawaii is absolutely right. The Beetle and Volkswagen were…

24Kgoldasshole yes I agree. OttoMaddox corrected me though (and I apologized) he said that Hitler and the Nazis were not involved with VW: “The Volkswagen company was founded postwar, and it helped enable Germany to become a peaceful, prosperous, democratic nation after the war.” So Hitler and the Nazis didnt have a…

Watch the first episode of James May’s “Cars of the People” (it’s on Prime). It does a fairly decent job of explaining what happened.

It was on a Miata message board from someone looking to buy them.

Sorry my bad. I didnt realize the photo of the VW bug in the picture was a doctored photo. Seemed real to me. I thought hitler hired Porsche to build a “peoples” car for him and thats where the VW Beetle came from. Maybe it was just folklore. Dont think Kinja allows me to delete the post once its up. Sorry. 

The Volkswagen company was founded postwar, and it helped enable Germany to become a peaceful, prosperous, democratic nation after the war.

True VW did some awful things. The monkey one breathing diesel fumes was especially bad. I LOVE this particular story though and am really happy for this woman.

I dont know what you mean by “better” The Miata is the worlds best selling 2 seat convertible:

Do you know anyone that offers aftermarket european chrome bumpers for these. I have been looking online forever and cant find any. I love these and as you mentioned they are affordable but always preferred the euro slim bumpers over the huge US mandated ones.
