Yeah a lot of people are brainwashed into using porsche only rims, i can see the attraction and the 'links' to VW's but the price generally is ramped up as soon Porsche is mentioned.

Its all down to personal preference or budget and imagination.

Im using Vauxhall( GM Motors) pattern 4 studs, purely because i found some rims i quite liked at a reasonable price and they were something different that you dont see very often on a VW.

I'm using new drums and discs drilled in the stud pattern needed.

Ill post some pics when they are finished.

Porsche rims are mostly used just because of the brake conversions. makes it easier. i personally love the Porsche rims though is why i went there and if you have the time, you can find the deals. i got a set of near flawless 2001 Boxster 17's for $425. the deals are out there.

that said, absolutely nothing wrong with running other rims. just find what you like, make sure it comes in the offset you need and convert to the bolt pattern.

I am running Enkei Rims (only 15" though).
I had to get custom drilled rotors and drums, but I can now use any type
of Honda (read: tons available) pattern rim.
