      Silly rims question.

      Picked up a set of 15" BBS rims for my car today. They were on VW MK3. I'm not sure if they were factory or aftermarket. I did not have the chance to test fit them yet. They were only $60 for the set. If they are the factory rims, should I need a spacer? Or will they be bolt on's?

      I searched but couldn't find more than a maybe answer lol.

      I will think of a better signature later.

      they will bolt on more than likely. BUT you might need a spacer in the front since the aveo carrier sticks out more than the vw.

      I do have all 4 center caps. They fit perfectly. They are definitely factory for Volkswagen. Pics, i want to clean them up first. Maybe get them on the car.

      Lowering springs some millenium. I still wouldn't mind 16's. Had a chance for 17's but tires that fit would be too low profile. I can't get to crazy, the town I live in is hilly, and rough.
