Does anyone know of a good wheel shop in Qld that stock rims for european cars like the VR6 golf.

Maybe a bit technical but i'm looking for 5X100 57mm bore with offset of 35-40 in 18" and really having an issue finding rims

You don't want 18"s what you want are some nice 15" BBS off a vr6 ;)

I've seen a wide body VR6 on 19" rims in a mag....

i agree with tim. on 17's you've got trouble. on 18's you've got HUGE trouble.

ET35-40 - i would aim for 35. i tried a 40 - won't clear the front calipers - even tried a 38 - it *just* scraped. with a bit of deformation around corner it probably would make it worse.

some manufacturers make variable centre bore- they ship with various spigot rings which actually make your required centre bore. i know TSW are that way.
