TheLoyale Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I highly doubt that is in Japan. Might be, look at the trees and the people, they all look asian. Although, one Brat has an '80s Calif plate... hmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red92 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Oh yeah. Wow VW has a huge lug diameter. 5x205! The same lug pattern was used on the Porsche 356, as well as some 40s-50s English Fords (Popular, etc). There are tons of cool aftermarket wheels in that lug pattern. Steel, aluminum, magnesium... 13" through 17" diameter, crazy widths too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadberry Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Thanks (for the wagon comment) and yep, those are old VW wheels with the SJR adapter plates for the standard 4 lug soob nutz... there's a better shot of those adapters in my album http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/album.php?albumid=311 and i didn't 'tilt-shift' every photo within the gallery... Those SJR adapters and wheels may be for sale soon, if anyone is interested. cheers Looks like thats where "you'll" die if you go check out that Brat lol.
