Are there any OE rotors that will take that PCD - doubt it.
Frank I'd be interested to know how those discs turn out - what material etc etc....

I fitted adapters from golf to 5 wide and it does not work.
They cannot be a Beetle to golf adapter reverse. YOu need to clear the caliper. This means that the center of the rim starts where the grease cap End. IE The off set is way out.
The added mass is another problem.
As soon as I find 4X100 16" X 7" rims there will be 4 adpters for sales.
