Default STI wheels on a Bug

Morning all,

I have a 02 Bug STI (UK) prodrive edition with PFF7s fitted. I know its almost blasphemy but I'm really not sold on them as I've always prefered multi spoke wheels.

Can you get these STI wheels in 5x100 to fit over brembos?

And would anyone be interested in a swap?

Unfortunately those STI wheels never came in 5x100, only way to go get them on is by using a 5x100-5x114 converter .

These are what the Bug STi Prodrive is fitted with from new (unless optional wheels where chosen)

Not sold on the twin 5 spokes, will just have to keep my eye out for some OZs. I gather Classic wheels will go straight on (as long as they're 17s)?

Yeah classic wheels will fit. Make sure they're at least 7.5" or 8" wide or they'll get lost in the arches Again be mindful for wether they'll fit over brembos or not

They were available from BBS, not Enkei. Look nigh on identical though.

Stu(53) has a set, and sure Simon(SilverScoobySport) had a set.
