As long as the offsets close, you should be ok man.
Vws just use bolts instead of studs and nuts. Get some alloy nuts (scoobys are a good fit) and you should be fine man.
Plenty of folk have run vw rims on 300s with no reported probs. Offset is the only sticking point man.

I have 14" steels from a VW Passat, and a Seat Toledo. ET38 so it's pretty much a perfect match. Seems to work fine enough without doing anything to the center bore size mismatch (got ex-Toledo winter tyres under the 340 now...) but I guess I'll only stop worrying after getting spigot rings at some point. 8) Of course with steel rims there are no problems with nuts, conical seats.

0-60 in 8 sec isn't bad for a 73 passat... :wink:

Thats a real shame, sounds like it was a bit of an animal :D

Off topic is fine, as i think we've expended all the pics of 300's wearing VW/Audi wheels in the pic above :lol:
