Thanks Rowdy.

Rowdy,

Your wheels look very nice. Are they 15 x 6 ?
What is the wheel offset or back-spacing ?

What is the year and model of the VW car ? Thanks.

VW corrado wheels. I used bullet lugnuts and made the center cap.
early 80's I think. I cant remember the offset, but they were w/in .5" of stock PT so they fit fine.. most corrado wheels youll find are 4 lug.. these are the 5 lug ones same as PT 5x100.
i polished up the caps (alum) they are jsut dog kennel post caps. i welded a steel collar onto the wheel not affecting the hub, to mount em


painted the centers red

Rowdy,

Thanks for the information and the pictures.

There are 15 x 6 steel Corrado wheels for sale on the Internet, but no pictures. However, I did find one picture of wheel with a 4 on 100 mm bolt circle, which looked the same as yours, with 12 holes, but with a different bolt pattern.

Salvage yards have a few, and they have 15 x 6 wheels for 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder Corrados. The 6-cyl wheels (5 on 100 mm ?) are probably from 1992-94 Corrados, Jettas, and Passats. One listing did mention 12 holes in the wheel.

Here's another solution. Mid 90's caravan center caps. They screw onto the rim center. They came in two sizes. These are the larger ones.
