Update: Spoke with Lanner today. He's machined a hat from "scrap metal" just to check out the offset he'll need for the hat to be ordered from Wilwood. Looks like we'll have something done in the next week.

Another boring update: Hats came in from Wilwood with the offset Lanner specified and I've sent one off again today. Should be in the final stretch within about 3 weeks.

Lanner got the hat. Like a dumb a$$ I only sent him one, like I did with the rotor and caliper, but he needs to machine them both! He did figure that we can do a dual pattern on the hat and hub though, 5x130 for Porsche and 5X100 or 112, we havn't figured out yet, for new VW. Lanner says that the new VW stuff has offsets of around 50, in the Porsche range, so hopefully I'll be able to get cheap VW aftermarket wheels shortly, as compared to fewer choices and higher cost of P car stuff.
Does anyone know what the new VW stuff wheel bolt pattern is? Jason

5x100, same as Audi TT but not the rest of the Audis. I've got a set of NewBeetle Turbo S wheels in the shop if you need any measurments from them... or maybe you want the set?
(they actually belong to a buddy of mine and he WAY overpaid for them, $600 ) Jeff-

I'm talking bout the MkV not the MkIV. Lanner says the MkV is actually different than the MkIV. He knows the MkIV is 5x100, but he thinks the MkV might be 5x112 or something. It's the brand new Rabbit that he's talking about. Do you think it's the same?

Or you could just go to the dealer with a stud pattern guage and ask the front counter parts salesman to grab you an 06 jetta/rabbit rotor. |

the MkVs have a much different offset than the mkIVs. I dont know if this matters in your set up but I'll throw it out there as a heads up.
MkV wheel sizes GLI/GTI stock Ronal 17" wheel - 17x7 et 54 - 23lbs Monza/Detroit/Hufweisen BBS 18" wheel - 18x7.5 et 51 - 29lbs Karthoum 18" wheel - 18x8 et 50 - 28lbs MkIV R32 and 20th Ann. Edition wheel size Aristo (R32 and 20thAE) 18 x 7.5 et 35 - 21 lbs.

YES! 50-54 is a great range for offsets! I'll be able to run Porsche or VW wheels on the front, Lanner is making up hubs that will accept both, and I'll have him make up some adapters for the rear. That's great news, thanks.
