I dont know if you guys know this, but i only found out the other day! Apparently you can still buy brand new G60 steels from VW main dealer for about £40 each... and i think they look really cool on a Rocco :cool:

Think they are a little more expensive than that, but yeah its true. They are the Passat g60 wheels, rather than Golf, but the difference in the two is marginal. Only VW "geeks" can really tell the difference.

Agree with you tho bud, best OEM wheel for a MK2 Scirocco?

Yeah i was surprised about the price too! But a mate of mine mentioned to me the other day that he had ordered a set of G60 steels from main dealer and were costing him about £150 all in for the set. I think this is now his 2nd or 3rd set, so i'm not sure either. Aren't Passat's 5 stud?

I think the G60 passat was only available in the B3 chassis (Mk3) which was 4 stud - save the VR6 engined cars...as were the B4 chassis upto 1996.
VR6 cars were 5x100 stud pattern.
B5 chassis from 1996 onwards are all 5 stud - 5x112, as are the facelift b5.5 cars to 2005 (ish)
