Drag rims, anyone seen 'em?

[raveracer77 at yahoo.ca (Rave Racer 77)]

I have 40 ET (mm offset) on my rims on my A2 Jetta and they fit fine with no 
rubbing.  Tires are 195/55/15.  I'm thinking of getting a set of Sportmax's 
though and theyre 15X8 and 0 ET.  Should be interesting, don't know if 
they'll fit yet either.
