RE: [T3] tires and wheels

["Jake Kooser" <jake_k@attglobal.net>]

If $$ truly is no problem, don't blow your savings on Porsche rims.  I found
out last weekend from a fellow VW enthusiast that works at a tire & rim
joint that the Porsche bolt pattern (i.e. 5-lug 911 style) is one of the
most limited fittings.  There just aren't many wheels available for that
pattern.  He recommended changing to a 5 lug on 4.5 inch bolt pattern for
the best selection of wheels.  You could probably have a set of adapters
polished, but why?  Unless you're building a "trailer queen" show car, they
will be behind the wheels all the time and mostly unviewable.  I personally
don't trust adapters, I'll be having my discs and rear hubs redrilled prior
to getting my rims.
