Re: Stock wheel size



How are you measuring these wheels?

The part number is stamped into the wheel.

The only 5 1/2" Scirocco wheels that I've seen, look totally different
than the regular Mk1 Scirocco wheel. The 24 spoke wheel that came on late
'81 S models. My '82 Scirocco came with a different 13x5 1/2" wheel stock
wheel.

Peter
'79 Scirocco w/15x6 1/2" MSW's.
