I have changed the wheel in my mk2 for an early mk3 gti wheel. It's transformed the driving feel of the car for the better, it's a little bit smaller and fatter. There's this one on ebay at the moment...

Have a search on eBay for a US Passat one. They are dished and better looking than the Mk2 version in my opinion.

**Forgot to ask, what year is it? As pre 1990 have a smaller spline column and require an adaptor to fit post 1990 wheels. The adaptor is only £8 from VW though**

I 'think' the adaptor is from a Mk3.

£9+VAT brand new from VW, part number 191 419 514.

I got this Polo wheel on mine. It's nice, only downside is in certain driving positions, you can't see the speedo needle once it goes above 40 lol
