G'day Matt,
Depends what you are looking for, ie, steels, mags, 15s, 16s, x6, 6.5, 7 and 7.5. I'm running 15x7 Merc Vito mags (Performance Wheels, Lotus) on my '67 Splitty (Bay hubs), I also run 16x6.5 BA Ford rims (stud pattern machined from 114.3 to 112 pcd), also 16x7.5 Merc steel rim with 255/70 on the back. So there's quite a range of options, but need to be wary of the ET factor, ie: 6.5" rim with an ET of 37 are perfect for the Bay, if you go to 7", ET needs to be approx 42. Some Merc rims have a higher ET factor which reduces the inside clearance too much.
There's been heaps of discussion on this subject on here in the past so do a bit of searching.
Hope the above helps a bit.
Cheers, Ian.

Audi stud pattern is same. Stands to reason being a VW'ish brand

they look similar to the rims I put on my T3 last night.
if they're to suit A3, Golf 4, Golf 3 GTI, then they're 5x100 pcd and won't fit.
if they're to suit Passat, then they're 5x112 and will fit with a little work on the centre bore of the rim.

How much is the machining to fit a bus worth?
