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?

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 )

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?

Thanks man. I might have Lanner just buy one rotor and get all the dimensions off of it then take it back. VW Parts accept non-used parts back don't they?

yes we do.

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.

It's actually not the pattern I'm worried about, it's the hub-centric area, the angle and diameter of this area, but Lanner said that it's actually on the hub, not the rotor, so that's not much help. I would be hearing from Lanner later this week about how things have worked out.

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.
