anyone know where one could buy some late model beetle 5x100 brake drums? or would i have to go the blank drum route and get em drilled? if so where could i find blank drums?
thanks D. |

5x100 is not common so you'll need blank drums and need to get them drilled.
4x100 and 5x130 are common patterns. |

| you can get cheepo blanks-jus look in a hotvw...my advice would b to go ahead and convert to disk....once you have a machine shop drill your 5x100 pattern, get studs, (dont forget the brake adjusting hole like i did) and be sure the drum fits your wheel( i had to get a lip shaved off the rear drums to fit my 17" 5x100 wheels) you would be better off w/disk....way less maintenance better looks and better performance....its been a while since ive looked at them but airkewled has lifetime rotors or if you want to go cheaper order a cheap disk blank or w/that pattern |

| I purchased 5x100 drums from an advertiser in Hot VWs mag about 3 years ago. Just call around, someone's bound to make 'em. |
