I don't think they're that bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) It's nice to have choice.

They have a VW backspacing, as they are designed for bugs and other old 4-lug VW's. I have seen the same design on other cars, and personally I think they look like they should be used as scrap for something useful, like pop cans. Also, me and John photoshoped them onto a pic of my old car. And, well.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

TROY!!! If you're going to replace your wheels at least get rid of the VW rims you have now for some Porsche wheels rather than for yet another set of Bug rims.
The offset is the difference my friend. |

6". near the same backspace as oem fuch wheels. that extra 1/2" must be in the offset (outside edge). be careful. i wouldn't count on 205s or even 195s fitting without interfearence. once a tire is mounted and put on the car the wheels become used. premo oem wheels can be had for less.

Classic cars should have classic wheels. IMHO modern wheels loook out of place on a classic car. Or in other words make the whole package look like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)
