was 16v rims////now 15 X 8wheels

[Anthony Pelletier <vwnuts@yahoo.com>]

while we are on the subject of wheels.  does any one
know where I can get a set of 15X 8 aluminum wheels. 
I know kosei makes one.  I was wondering if anyone
else made one that looks less japanese.  I see a lot
of pictures form europe of cars that have similar
wheel set ups.  Can any of the european listers
comment?
