yea ive only seen them listed as 5 also, but at importhookup.com they have pictures of them with four lugs. looks like i might have to do a 5 lug swap, but seeing that the volks will set me back at least 2 grand ima be in money trouble.

if you're strapped on cash, avoid volks all together man...with a 5-lug conversion, you're talking over 3500, easy if you do everything right. thats a whole lot of engine or suspension work that could be done.-chet

according to them, you can get them in four lug, in different offsets, but on 17"x7,8 and 9.

which is plenty, I stand corrected. I havent seen anyone GET any in four-lug though :/-chet

No worries chet. I know this because i spend a bit of time there looking at their wheels. I also have my eye on the GT-C's. Engine work first though... ;)

I can't find a current size availability chart, and the ones in the Mackin site are still under construction. But an early brochure I got when the GT series started to come out lists some 4 x 144 patterns. But offest was limited and I don't see any high caliper offsets which might be necessary to clear 4+ piston calipers.

thanks for your replys, but I think I am going to agree with chet on doing engine work. SR is in the works, but I will definately save for these once that project is done.
