Post by: Rhyso on 11 January 2009, 19:09: 5 x 112 will need adaptors

5 x 100 will fit no problem

I very much doubt it. My next door neighbour has a set on his black (more door) mk4 and although the ones with diamond turned faces look good, i'm not their biggest fan.

Kind of possibly although the set I'm looknig at are 17s and that means rolling very low!

Post by: Wazzzer on 11 January 2009, 23:58: looks like they may be genuine Passat wheels with adaptors. From what I can see in the pic they stick out a bit compared to standard
