Wheel Information for an MK1 Dubber

I have an MKI Rabbit. I like the wheel combo on some of the original beetles that I saw in Mexico.

My MK1 is 4X100 and I am not sure of the offset, but I wanna put some steel wheels on along with the chrome trim rings and VW caps.

Anyone know if they will fit? Anyone have the offset and bolt pattern?

Maybe you like it this way?
This is my car, original 13" 5j 4x100.

And these are 13inch steels, with chrome mk1 Jetta wheelcaps:

I actually like the beetle better.

I have the factory steel wheels with caps now.

Offset for standard 4 bolt Beetle wheels is around +45.
You need adapters anyway, to go from 4x130 pcd to 4x100 pcd. 20mm spacers/adaptors would be OK, so your offset would be +25
HTH, Jan :)

Damn, so it isn't just a simple swap.

That sucks. Maybe I will look at alternatives......

Thanks guys!
