Picking up the car next weekend but the parts are starting to roll in. Picked up 2 of the wheels I need today from a local club guy. They were too wide for his car so he let them go cheap.

Think maybe the wartburg will need some flaring ;)

Been posted around here before but here's some shots.

Those stock rims are about 3.5-4 inches wide

The existing wartburg pattern or the new wheels?

The Wartburg pattern is goofy, kinda reminds me of the old VW wide 5 (5x230) I'm actually interested to see if its the same.

The new wheels are not the same bolt pattern, and yes its a bit different from the norm but once you figure out what it is our diabolical plan becomes clear.

I know the one of which you speak, if this thing came out half that sexy I'd be happy.
