Am chasing some 15'' Wide 5 Stud Pattern, Deep dish wheels.
Something like the pic below...
Let me know what you've got!
I dont care if its a set or a pair...

These are generally standard rims reversed.

You could cut the centres out and reverse them if you want to or remove hubcap clips and run sans hubcaps just reversed.

I reckon you could even drill out the hubcap clips and insert new ones reversed to save yourself the work of removing the centre.

Cheers

Please do not just remove the hubcap clips, and reverse the whole wheel ! :no: It has been done, but it's really dangerous, for a number of reasons.

Yeah... Thanks for the feedback so quick...
I think ill stick with buying whole wheels.
i can get them professionally widened for $150 per wheel, which is cutting the center and putting a new outer wheel on...
Anybody got any?

Before you use any wheels that have been modified, make sure the are TRUE and the bolt-face is FLAT. Bad wheels can ruin good drums.

Lay the wheel down, with the inside facing up, and place a [good] drum against the centre. There should be no sign of 'rocking' when you push down anywhere on the drum.

Thanks for the tip.

But... STILL chasing some wheels

Have a look on Facebook at a couple of the Australian VW buy/sell pages. There's a fella on there selling new ones, based up in QLD, sorry I don't have a link.
