I got a set of wheels a few weeks ago! The wheels are 16x7 et45 from a 98 Passat. They weigh 18lbs each. Tires are Hankook Ventus R-S3 in 205/55ZR16.

Night i bought them... all 4 tires were blown. Guess thats what $80 will get ya!

Test fitting...

Loaded up to go and get the tires dismounted...

Model number

Prepping for paint!

Paint!

I sanded the wheels down with abrasive pads and 400 grit sand paper

First rim done!

Looks pretty good!

Trying to get an idea as to how they would look

To the tire shop! (1 week after the last picture)

First wheel is on!

Passenger front wheel

Driver side front and rear wheels (with bonus tractor action!)

Passenger side wheels are on!

Thats my kind of fitment! 1/4 inch between barrel and caliper!

So clean! OEM 2011 centercaps and lug covers on a 98 wheel! Who would have thought?

Glamour shot!

Thanks! I got the idea from a friend who had white B5 S4 wheels on his 2012 GLI... Maybe I’m just copying him lol

White wheels look awesome on anything. Love it. You say 98 Passat but those are 4Motion only right? Or V6 only?

Thanks! I painted the wheels with Wal-Mart’s finest Rustoleum paint haha I’d say they turned out pretty good
