Re: Stock wheel size

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Ok, I went out the next day and measured the same wheel (identical to the 
"standard" scirocco wheel)and it did measure 5.5". There wsa also a wheel 
right next to it that looked identical, so I measured it and it was 5" so I 
hope that clarifies things a little. As to part#'s and all that, I don't 
know. I was just trying to help the guy out. :)
