Aren’t those the wheels you’re after?
Actually I’m a big fan of the old school Centerlines on early VWs with the wide-5 bolt pattern. My truck has been converted to GM 5 on 4.75” bolt pattern (1984 Corvette wheels) but my 2 other ‘50s VWs are still original 5 on 205mm (wide-5).

It’s hard to find tire shops that will deal with mounting tires with tubes inside them (Centerlines often leak between the two halves) so I did them all myself. Tires are 135SR-15 Michelin XZX on 3-1/2” wheels and 215/65-15 Hankook on 6” wheels.
