Mangle chrome wheels

by what year is it
Does anybody know if the offset of the Mangle chrome 5 1/2'' wheels are the same as 5 1/2" 73 sport Bug wheels?

i believe that the 5.5" mangles are ET +25
whereas all those 5.5" empi wheels are either ET +22 or +20 depending on the rim.

i don't know the ET is the other wheels you're asking about, but this at least gives you a reference in case somebody else has those numbers

The `73 5.5" sport bug wheels are ET26 (w/reverse centers), but for clarification there are also 5.5" sport bug wheels (914's had 'em) with ET40...and I've never seen any of the `74+ 5.5" ET34 wheels.
