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

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

*starts thinking*

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

*head hurts*
