im debating to get these or not they look exactly like the acr bbs wheels but the only probley is they have the Volkswagen sign. here they are i dont know how to post pictures. and there a good buy. http://spokane.craigslist.org/pts/329798379.html. and im pretty sure that they would fit.

the VW's do have a 5x100 bolt pattern so they would fit in that respect. i dont know about the offset or the hub diameter.

those wheels came on some jetta's

i might have to give them a call and see if i can see if the offset and hub diameter would fit.

or if they dont know, maybe go over there and jack up your can and put a wheel on there.

tell them if it fits ill buy them.

dont know how you would get rid of the VW symbol, like if it can be scraped off with a razor blade.

i know how to get off the vw center can they have little clips on the back and you can just undo it with a screw driver and it pops out and you can find one a dodge one or bbs one the same diameter of a the vw and clip it into place.

cool

that would work perfectly

guess when i get to looking for new wheels, it opens my options.

but generally anything with a VW logo on it is $$$$

how much are these, i clicked the link but it came up with an error. i just knew what you were talking about so i answered anyways.

yeah, if they are in good shape, thats a steal.

from tirerack. those are labeled as BBS RX i believe, which cost a little more than $1000 a set.

depending on the tire size it might not work to put them on the car.

ill go look at tirerack to see how tall the tires should be

edit: tirerack says they are a full inch taller. dont know if they would clear the strut perches for the test fit or not

another good thing is my brother works at a tire shop as their mechanic so i can get tires cheap.

*starts thinking*

if those are the same as the ACR wheels, then they should fit just for that fact.

*head hurts*
