    what do you currently have? do you have the Borbet A's?
    I'm traveling to the Philippines soon and hopefully I can snatch some surplus parts for my car...

    No mate, I think the Borbets are cool (reckon they'd be the business with flat centre caps too), but I've bought Simmons FR's for mine:

    I have no idea, but here's the build thread. lol

    Hmm, BBS RS's are another option as well; they're 3 piece wheels, and there are plenty of spare parts for them all over since they're popular in the Euro community. (and since many vw's came with our 5x100 pattern, I'm sure you'll be able to find a set or two that would fit; the only thing is that they usually sell for quite a bit more than the other wheels I listed except the BBS ones. haha)

    Trying to get a toms c3 spirit here in manila. i think ill stick with a 15s. Specs are 15x6.5, 5x100 +37 offset. i really catn visualize the fit but judging by the numbers do you guys think it will fit flush or at least close to it?

    That's pretty much identical to the offset on the factory wheels, so the fronts won't be too far off but the rears will sit quite a way inside the guard

    Not the lightest wheels you can find, but the closest thing I could get to replicate the look of the Momo wheels on the GTO Celicas from the 80s IMSA cars!

    Oh yeah and I'm most likely to run their 15"x8" with the 4.75" back spacing, and mounting up 225/45/15 race tires all around.....

    Since i was not able to find anything on my trip... I found these on cl... http://baltimore.craigslist.org/pts/3533722697.html

    Any thoughts? I know i would need to run adapters/spacer to accommodate the difference in pcd... Im trying to learn the offsets but i still cannot comprehend it... Will t these work on our 4h gen?

    i could not picture it on an XB... hehe... to each his own as they say... anyway, just curious if the dimensions of the wheel will fit on our car... for what it's worth, it should be a good deal... ideas?
