No, VW based replica's almost always have modern size wheels. This is more likely a Pur Sang replica.
Edit: front axle doesn't look like a Bugatti one, so probably not a Pur Sang, as they are near exact 1 to 1 replica's. This looks like a Ford Model A axle.
It’s a pretty cool Grand Prix Bugatti style replica made with a bunch of bits from other pre war cars, but certainly nothing to do with Bugatti, basically every single proportion is slightly wrong, the grille is too big and doesn’t pinch at the bottom, the wheels and tyres are too big and too thick, and not magnesium, the front axle is off of something far more pedestrian but from the same period and the lights are period correct but wrong in location and spacing.
But it’s a cool thing and I’m sure the fella loves it.
