Light German rims
I just got stationed to Germany an was looking into getting some Volks. I was also wondering if any German cars have the same lug pattern as the FD. Alot of the cars over here come with BBS stock and some Germans want to sell thiers and get different rims. Any help is appreciated!

I've got the money to get Volks. I would rather pick up some used BBS rims since they are so cheap and common over here. The only problem is that I dont know which German cars (Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, Volvo, BMW,VW...) have the same bolt pattern as my FD.

5 x 114.3 is your bolt pattern... Audi/VW mostly have 5 x 100 i believe...
Some porsche have the same bolt pattern as the FD, depends on model, etc....
You will also have to factor in things like rim width, and offset..

i think you will find that most german cars w/a 5 lug pattern are 5x100 as stated above and theat most of the offsets are going to be wrong for an fd (in the +20 to +30 range). why not try to grab a set of rx-7 rz bbs wheels? they can be difficult to find, but they will likely be less than a set of new volks.
