Yes i thought that too but offset is a bit big for a passat i thought, should fit well though and be easy to clean

Ive seen these on a Mk5 TDi in my street, not seen them before - He has probably done the same as you to run as winters.

I'm sure I've seen these type on mk4s over here in NI before.

I like them. How do they look on your car?

These are known as 'Largo' alloys and were a 17" VW upgrade option on the B5 and B5.5 Passat.  I ran a set on both my 1.8T Passat saloon and my 1.8T Passat estate.  Very nice wheels that were lighter than the 16" Sport and made both vehicles ride better despite the lower profile tyres (225/45 17).  Not that common either!
