Got bored and threw my vdub wheels on
I couldn't stand being in the house all day during our 20+ inch snowstorm so out to the garage I went. I had these wheels for my wife's Cabriolet so I threw them on the Fit to see what they would look like. These are factory Corrado wheels meant for winter/snow tires but a lot of vdub guys run them on other cars. They are 15X6 ET35 with 195/50 S Drives.

I used to have a set of 14" steelies off from a Golf before too. The offset is just soooooooo much nicer than the toyota/honda ones.
Switched to a set of bmw e30 basketweaves now, not the best condition but still a nice size....

They do look kind of cool on the Fit, better than the normal Honda steel wheel.
What's the center bore like on those? I know European cars usually have a much different center bore than Japanese cars, normally bigger. Actually surprised they have the same P.C.D., though I have never owned a VW or looked into what the wheel sizes are. Just searched and seen they usually run a 4x100 or 5x100(like Subaru).

Thanks for all the replies! I'm actually surprised you guys like them
The centerbore on VW wheels is 57.1 so not much different than the Honda wheels. These wheels would look pretty good with some nice lugs but being that they're factory wheels, they use a ball seat type lug.

Those are awesome! I would rock those year round, not just with winter tires. Goes to E-bay in search of Dub wheels.....

I might actually put them on once the winter is over. The ET35 concerns me a little bit but I think I might be ok. I would need to paint the rear dust covers black and hopefully find some lugs, we'll see.
