i saw an add in a vw mag this weekend saying that the classic wheels like brms and empi,s have now got a more suitable offset and improved quality, anyone know what the offset is? i loved the look of my van with its empi,s

The offset was somewhere around 17-22mm ET so they stuck out miles so hopefully the new versions will have 30 or so mm ET.

i do not trust them, they sold me the last set saying they were suitable, and that the tyres were correct. it was a lot of HORSE.
