    Does anyone know if these 17" rims will fit on a B5 without modification?

    Ive seen them on a B6 and they look pretty good. I dont think they would be ugly, but i do think there are better OEM wheels out there.

    O.K. so you guys have me re-thinking things.

    Here's what I currently have.

    http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w...current=14.jpg

    They're 16" Borbet Type E. I've had them for a while and one of the wheels is bent. I do like them due to the simple design, but have found out that Borbet are pretty soft rims and bend easily. So I'd like to find a better quality rim.

    I really appreciate anything you recommend.

    Do you have to do any modifications to fit 18" wheels on? What are you using for wheels?

    Isn't your spedometer off when you go to that big of wheel? Also, do you have to get a low profile tire or anything special like that? The stock on mine are 16's.
