so after the almost 4 days that my car has been back and forth between shops, they have concluded that the specific lugs and studs that i need are unavailable since the company i ordered them from is gone from existence. thus my only option is to by new rims and if anyone wnats to risk it, can buy my old rims. i also need a list of DEPENDABLE rim sites, preferably ones that have black rims with the chrome lip like my old ones. well thats the dealio.....oh well....shit happens i suppose...

Wieland you're not selling your wheels. your wheels studs are mounted to your spindle, and your lug nuts are threaded on to the studs. your wheels are just sandwiched in between. you need a new set of studs, and tuner lug nuts that will fit inside the narrow lugnut hole in your wheels. it's quite simple, and has nothing to do with your wheels.

in that case, you're saying you have wheels specific for VW, which doesn't make sense. wheels are universal, as long as the bolt pattern lines up. give me the thread pitches for your wheel studs, actually, bascially give me all the dimensions and companies you have for your wheel studs, and for your lugnuts. i'll see what I can do.
