PCD is the first part you have to consider (pitch circle diameter) - four lug old vws are 4x130.
Next you have to consider offset - modern alloys have more negative offset (more of the rim on the inside of the bolt mounting surface) whereas older
cars tend to have more positive offset (so the inside edge of the rim doesn't hit the suspension components).
There are quite a few options for you like 4 stud BRMs, Sprint stars, Rivieras, Empi 8 spokes...etc etc.
I can't think of any sites off hand that will give you a comprehensive list but I'm sure someone can help in that department.

The problem with VW 4 by 130s is that there is only a small range available. Which is a shame as there are so many very nice wheels on modern shopping
jeeps, but they don't fit. Others worth considering are Bathhurst Globes and Hot Wires.

hi, this is by no means a complete selection but it is a good start. unfortunately most of the wheels here are foreign so you would have to import
them if you found a set...
