Looking at the car on the left, thin wheel version it appears the inner hubs are different, left has a long inside hub, right has a short hub with an angled end. Could be camera angle but to me the hubs look different. |

Yes the thin wheels that inner side is different as the wide hub extends over farther , if you have this piece tak a look at also the front axel wheels it/they extend out farther too , the roundness sorry me eyesight is going bad and me magnify glass is being borrowed at moment it should be returned in about a hour and i can look CLOSER at roundness of (REAR WIDE , THIN )and front Thins Thankx for the ? Of observation of i will post pucture tommorrow of these shots i have now but showing FULL BOTTOM Rear & Front as pretty sure its how the difference of WIDE / THIN ( really MEDIUM ) i also have a calipier measurement tool as i used to docement sizes thickness diameters etc As such as on these cars people will state L- S yet really the SMALL IS a LARGE and LARGE is a Xtra large , or say ASW All Small ( but really they are medium or even LARGE not small Cheers from ALASKA , col'pop |

For the VW fans out there, a video in which Mark Jones talks about his design. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oksjz-IGvE&t=19s |
