the offset on these wheels will really tuck inside your car.... it will not look good at all, but if you find these wheels with the correct offset, it'll look good.
More than wheels, if the offset is really off, no volks can save you there =)

if you're into chrome, they don't look that bad. there are only a handful here who pulled it off with chrome wheels. it's all about how it comes together with the rest of the car. offsets are one and those +45 et wheels are weaksauce unless you're into the sunken look or you'd be running spacers.

The wheels in question have an offset of 45. What do you (or anyone else) recommend ... 55, 60?
