Most of the 15" steels will not work with some big brake systems. I went with 15" alloy from Passats on the boneyard for $27 each. Depending on offset you will need spacers and longer lug bolts. T3 technique has some good info on SAMBA on this.

The thing is $600 for a set of alloys is not in the budget. Any suggestions for a less expensive alternative, I don’t care if they are steel wheels. > > Thanks, > Bryan > > > Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10
