As I recall from the mid to late '60's there were some 5 bolt Porsche wheels
that looked very much the same, in 15" size.  Don't expect either the bolt
pattern to fit, or the price to be within sight, however.  These were
drilled to match whatever they would fit.  There were even close-to
Minilites for the VW 4 bolt.  The Panasports are really well made, and
drilled to the Tiger B.C. when ordered.
