4x100 16's are very rare Ash, or any 4 stud 16's for that matter...

The 4x100 16's that fit VW's and E30 BMW's are RS003's. They use the same centres as the 15's (RS001), just with bigger outer lips and barrels to make up the diameter, they have 30 parameter bolts, the 5 stud 16's like yours have 34 parameter bolts so have bigger centres with 2 more cross spokes. So your outer lips and barrels won't fit a 4 stud centre.

Porsche BBS RS have the bigger centres as well, but with ET50+ so plenty of room for adapters.
I had some 003's, heres a pic so you can see what i mean about the smaller centres,



They sold for $2950 on eBay!!

You could sign up on www.edition38.com and have a look in the classifieds - or try your luck on www.ebay.de most of the germans speak english and if you ask them if they're willing to ship wheels to Australia you might be lucky, they're usually game.

Oh cheers mate. Thanks for your help

Wow; those are in beautiful condition, one day, if i manage to fit mine, would like to buy all new bigger lips, bolts and rebuild them to look like that.

Ah porsche are +50mm ay?.. Thats an idea.. Would be good if someone has some 16" centers of any stud pattern with a +40 to +50 offset that they dont need. Let me know if youve seen any about ;P

Then i could run pcd adaptors and still sit nicely flush with the guards; instead of it sticking out like an inch.

Whats wrong with sticking out a inch

[Ash147]

Oh only cause id have to get some new tyres.. cause i have like a brand new set of 205/45's here.. haha.

If someone wants to swap for some 195/45's or something haha.

So my wheels cant be redrilled to a 4x100 pattern because the backs are flat. And they cant be flattened out.

Guess im selling up! and buying a 4x100 set of something! haha.

He meant to say they aren't flat backed, would be pretty tricky to redrill them.

[Ash147]

These wheels are now up for sale in the for sale thread. Need to find another set!

[WABIT]

well, they would be no good to us VW guys too if they cant be redrilled to 4x100
