    VW Rabbit Snowflakes?

    So I'm browsing around for some winter wheels I can scoop up for cheap with snow tires, and I came across some wheels from an old Rabbit.

    They're 4x100, 14x6, and they've got snow tires already mounted.

    You think they would be alright enough wheels for the winter season? For those who don't know what Snowflakes I'm talking about, they're these:

    i think those would look dope on an e30. as long as the tires arent too big youd be fine. and then come summer, refinish them and swap the rubber out

      I'd put those on my E30. What size are the winters?

          VW rims lug pattern works fine, with two caveats. if those rims are et38, you will need spacers. also, the seat of the lug nuts is round on VW wheels, not tapered like BMW, so you will need a new set of 16 lugs.

          185/70/14 is the exact right size, fyi.

          i ran a set of VW teardrops for a while because they were dirt cheap on craigs, but those things made it a bit of a hassle.
