I would say . . . FALSE!

I would say that the 13X5 rims used on the MK1 are
worse, followed by the various 13X5.5 rims used on MK2
8V models. In the U.S., the "Teardrop" rim was the
only 14X6 rim offered for Sciroccos. The offset of
38MM (same as the Rabbit GTI rims) is what the factory
determined to be optimum for A1 chassis cars.

Is it the best 14X6? No. IMHO they are too heavy.

All this said - I am not a guru.
