nope.. not the previously released dog dish style... have actual holes/texture inbetween the chrome ring and the hubcap..

Sorry for the awful photo... took it with my phone at a target and cropped it... i've only seen 2 5 packs with these cars as the bottom two cars in the pack..

The rest of the cars have the 3 spoke knock-offs... very detailed rims.. I like them alot.. as wide as the normal MBX 3 spoke tires.... but look much better on these cars.

Saw 2 of these 5-packs last night. Too bad I had already bought the original release, because these wheels do look much better.

I can add a couple of bad shots (my camera's macro mode sucks):
I tried to get a close-up of the wheel to show the vent holes, it actually reminds me of a real VW rim with trim rings. Also these wheels on my Mini are fit too tight and rub so they may look good there but aren't the best choice.

If you were to pick them out with some silver paint, they'd look exactly like the old school 70's VW bug rims... they look great!!
Could almost pass as mopar rallye's with some imagination...

they're a cool, realistic design, nonetheless.... will look as great as the 3 point knockoffs on most models.. I still wish they'd put those skinnier dogdish style original wheels that came on the red VW Beetle a few years back... they were also on that holden panel van.
