Default Gary: 16" Borbet Type E's on a 2007 VW GLI?

I run the Borbet's on my 2002 A4 1.8t quattro sport with snow tires.

Trying to figure out if I can do the same on the VW. My record of sale at TR (phone number) is too old and when I called they said they couldn't help me.

I know that both cars are 5x112 but I am unsure about the offset.

I have to use a ring adapter with these wheels on the Audi, is this to correct for the offset between the A4 and the Borbet's? What about with the VW?

What about wheel bolts? Do I use the same bolts I've been mounting the Borbets on the Audi to the VW? The Bolts on the Audi 17" wheels are different than what is required for mounting the Borbets.

Shouldn't be a problem for me to look into this and research an answer.

I'll need the part # off of the back of the wheel. Once I have that I can determine fitment, lug hardware, rings, etc.

Copy down all of the letters/number stamped on the back of the wheel and either post or shoot me an email with the info.
