Does anyone run any of these rims on their vw bugs? If so could i get some pictures? I do know you need a differ bolt pattern anything else? Thanks

you can have the brakes and hubs redrilled
or run an adapter

ive checked about such adapters to go from 4x130 to 5x100 or 112
matt was a big help

I think thats the way ill go

OFFSET is the key
any adapter will lower your wheel offset by about 26mm

so youll need a fairly high positive offset
