Picture i see something wrong

The "white walling" on the tyres doesn't look right. There's a 50-60mm border on the bottom but nothing at the top ?

I think that it's simply that the top part of the tyre is partially obscured by the wing, and partially by the shadow.
 
Good guess but not the right one ...the sun roof might have been fitted later on in life, so nothing unusual there

The car in the photo on the Wikipedia page has a sunroof:

Though this one might have been fitted later as well.
 
Is it that the factory-correct Bosch 9 1/4 inch headlight glass has been replaced with the more commonly available Bosch asymmetric lens fitted to the Beetle and 356?
 
Front and rear wheels are different.
 
Side window doesnt look right with the reflection, at the back it looks like its split. Dodgy Photoshop maybe.

Convertible hardtop with sunroof?
 
Being picky, the vented wheels are on the rear whereas I'd expect to see them on the front.
 
Thanks you all for your answers every one --- Dober Man you got it right my friend ,,the front wheels are solid ,,but if you look at the rear wheels they are vented ,,,why i have no idea .
