The 17" PRObuilt 3-Piece Smoothie is the ultimate flagship wheel — a modern revival of the iconic 15x4.5 one-piece Smoothie found on 1955–1965 Classic Volkswagen Beetles. Handcrafted in the USA, this three-piece design captures OE heritage while offering endless customization for today’s high-performance builds.
Each set is custom-built to order with your choice of bolt pattern — 4x130mm, 5x130mm, or Wide 5x205mm — and finished to your exact specs. With multiple color combinations, polished lips, raw inner barrels, and powder-coated centers, your Smoothies can be tailored to stand out or stay true to vintage style.
When your order is placed, a PRO will work directly with you to determine offsets, widths, and lip depths based on your suspension, fender, and brake setup — ensuring a perfect fit.

Bolt patterns: 4x130mm | 5x130mm | Wide 5x205mm
