As would I.  Does anyone know the dimensions of Volks. GTI rims? (bolt pattern)


I think we're on to something here: I believe my S2 Esprit is the same 3.75 
pattern. I use 2 VW Rabbit rims (with spacers- off the brake caliper) for the 
front
and 2 Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon rims in the rear when storing the car for
winter (Don't wanna flat spot them Gatorbacks!). Although the bolt patern is the
same, these rims (Lotus/VW/Mopar) have vastly different offsets to them. Some
ng tha is important to note!
