Thanks to everyone that responded about the steel wheels. The Tiicos are nice but expensive for 5 and out of stock anyway. I'm looking for a good used set---el cheapo. BenT has some Passat steel wheels that are 45 ET and says they're OK for the Syncro. Anyone out there running ET as large as 45? The Ronal MBZ alloys I have on my syncro now are 37 ET and they work fine. Jeff
