RE: 16 inch wheels on a MKI

["Fry, Larry" <LEF@chem-tronics.com>]

The salesman at the Tire Rack wasn't specific about why the K1 15x7 wouldn't
fit, just said "that size doesn't come in a fitment for your Scirocco."   It
must have been offset-related, since you are right about 4x100 being pretty
darn common.  Maybe a different salesperson would have a different response?

What was wrong with the 15x7? What offsets do they have? I know that the
4x100mm bolt pattern is easy to find. I definitely know VW guys that run
those wheels, though. This is strange...

Actually, as I recall, Tire Rack would have to specially drill the wheels to
fit our cars. However, this charge was not exorbitant. Are you *sure* that
there is no solution? The K1 ain't the best looking rim, but it defintely is
a great functioning piece of equipment.
