Well I know that 4 x 130 is not a common pattern, but i've chosen these:

17 x 7 wheels, specially designed for a bug

Would you consider them GL?

They do, they're BBW brand (I know.... but that's how it's called)

That's one good thing about living in Mexico, great demand for bug specific stuff

I would consider them more Import Tuner wheels.

BUT that is no problem. They look good so if you like them then rock em!
