LOL – I copied and pasted that info. I guess I should have put that in quotes, it does look like I made quite the sales pitch, eh? :P

Did anyone mention that these wheels are probably a bug offset?

Nope, but probably a fairly safe bet, good call. :wink:
However unless he's slamming it, it shouldn't matter.

So does the Bugzone set include the steelies? Or is it just the hubcaps?

Those don`t look like five lug bug wheels at all. They are basically just chrome smoothie used on American cars but in a four lug VW pattern and
have an offset to match.
