VERY cool

Guys -
I picked up the new VW Trends last night. It has an article on what was cool inthe VW scene over the past 20 or so years. There is a picture of a bug in the article that has widened 4 bolt fuchs.... SUPER cool. I would probably not have done my 5 bolt swap if I new this could be done. Pretty slick looking.

Nope - and the magazine makes them sound like any old 15x7" Fuchs. They really do look neat. Maybe I will sent my first ever email to a magazine to shake the tree for info.

You can split most rims, especially aluminum ones, it's cheap too... unless you want to drive at speed, then it's disgustingly expensive.

I for one am glad Scott switched to the 5 bolt. Besides making his car look more like an original GT, his old wheels don't look too bad on my car.
