Looking for a 5x112 bolt pattern and the minimum size of 16" (anything smaller will not fit our the caliper’s) this for a 2006 VW GLI I already checked with Sailor and he has only been able to locate 15" Checked on [tirerack.com](http://tirerack.com) and the cheapest I have found a set of 4 is $500 with balance and mounting. Anyone have any ideas where I can get a set for cheaper?? any input appreciated! thanks!! ---

Check [Audizine.com](http://Audizine.com), [Audiworld.com](http://Audiworld.com), vwvortex, [passatworld.com](http://passatworld.com). Theres always people selling stock parts on there cheap. Looks like $95/steelie from the stealership. You may be able to get a used set of real deal wheels for less than that. ---

check out [www.aaarims.com](http://www.aaarims.com) They have all kind of factory and aftermarket wheels. I just picked up a set of 6 lug wheels for a 1 ton Dodge work van at my office. Good prices too. ---
