tires and wheels What about these wheels?

[72Golf]

Found these on CL. Exem (?) basketweaves 13x6, 4x100. Offset unknown. Look like BBS copies. Anybody ever heard of em? Worth $150 with new tires?

Is there an easy way to measure offset? It's a mystery to me.

Don't know what the wheels are, but here's the formula:

If the tyres are new, then yes.

I believe the brand is Exim. That may help your search for info. I think they're pretty common, but if they come with tires and fit your car 150 bucks seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Thanks everybody! I'm going to look at (and measure offset) today.

I used to have them on my car. Offset is 12 or 13 I believe, and had no rubbing issues on a stock car. Good deal for $150., if the tires are good. Just be sure to get the proper lug nuts if you are changing from steelies.

I love gold center wheels but if you have a Golf green 2002, I'm not sure if that would look too good? Might want to paint the centers a gunmetal and leave the rim silver. My 2 cents worth.

Actually, these are going on my '73 Chamonix. I don't know whether to stay with gold or go with gray or silver. Wadda ya think? The tires are like new BFG's. Think it was a deal.

at a boy.. keep gold looks retro and sweet

Sorry but gold on a car reminds me of those ugly white battleships that Chrysler and Cadillac made in the 80's with fake Landau roofs and white Corinthian leather. Gonna go with a graphite center section so it will feel right.
