The air cooled lug pattern is NOT 4x100. I repeat: NOT 4x100.
There is a "wide 5" pattern that is 5x205, and then after '68 IIRC they went to 4 lug that is 4x130. Both of these bolt patterns are specific to aircooled VW's as far as I know.
Even if you did manage to get 4x100 "tuner" wheels on there, you would have to get a wheel with the right offset and a tire that will give you the correct right height. If you haven't noticed, aircooled wheels are a RWD offset and take a pretty tall wheel/tire combo.
I have seen people take adapters and use Chevy lug pattern wheels, as the Chevy wheels are RWD offset and you can mount tires on that are pretty tall. You can also get a good selection of wheels in the aircooled bolt patterns. You don't want to use bling-bling baller-style wheels anyway, since aircooleds are old school it wouldn't look right.
