New Wheels and Shoes

I found a great deal on wheels.  A friend from work sent me a post to some BBS look-a-likes on the local VW Board.  They are combo 4x100/108 14x6 with a 30mm offset.  The seem to fit just fine, although the advice I had been getting was to use at least a 36mm - 40mm offset.  I do get a light rub in the wheel well  on full lock.  I also had to purchase some new lug bolts and some centering rings since the mounts are hub centric.

I then ordered a new set of Federal Tires 185/55R14s.  They are pretty big compared to the stock tires 155/80R12s, but the overall diameter was still around 22", so it doesn't look too out of proportion to the car.  The lower offset also keeps the wheels from poking out from under the car.

Look for yourselves, I think the car looks like it's in character.  Must have more horse power now.
