Forgot to mention my wheel search

[Michael Dewar - Sun Scotland]

Ti,

The US market must be different from the Euro market then. I have a
1984 CGT with 14x6 4x100 Ronal R8s. After 1985 when the bolt pattern
changed to 4x108 for 5 cylinder models, 15x7 4x108 was an optional
extra. It is also possible to get 15x7 4x100 for the 4 cylinder models.
You might want to check Volkswagen Sciroccos. My friend here has one
with 15x6 4x100. The only difference is the centre caps.

Cheers,
Mike
