I don't mind them either but would look a bit naff on the wrong car like my Blue cc for instance.

I'd try and find a solution using the setup you have as it all starts getting a bit complicated otherwise.

i wouldnt bother spending cash on adaptors or converting to 5 stud just for a set of le mans.
could use that money to buy some better wheels

+1 to this. There's a lot more choice of wheels at 4 stud

phone up cades wheels and tell them neil with the red 1985 lowered jetta recamended them to you.
could get a very nice set of brand new rims for about £350  :wink:
if you was willing to drive to them they would try diferant rims on your car to see what looks best.
