You don't want the lowest offset on a VW. You want the highest offset prolly. Better do some reading/research?

never assume...maybe this guy wants a wheel with the lowest possible + & - offset so the mounting surface is the closest to the middle of the wheel as possible (zero offset).
plus...when you suggest that he "prolly" wants the highest offset...do you mean + or -?
you need to know more about his application before you make recommendations.
