I recently called my local VW dealers parts department to get the following info about VW's Mambo wheel . . . size 15x7 and available over the counter for a retail of $145. One problem, they didn't have a listing as to the wheels offset and they didn't have one there to check. If you have this five spoke 15x7 5x100 wheel on your new Golf or Jetta I would love to know the offset 35,38,42? If you are not sure if you have the wheel go to http://www.vw.com and click on commerce and then car accessories, then alloy wheels . . . the second page has the Mambo wheel.
thanks in advance to anyone that can help, Kevin

Oh yeah, I would also like to know if the spokes stick out beyond the lip of the wheel?
thanks again, Kevin

Hey. I happen to own (and am selling) a brand new set of Mambo wheels. Not sure of the offset (think it's around 35), but they are a flat 5-spoke wheel and they do not stick out at all from the lip of the wheel. If interested, the wheels are only a week old and have less than 100 miles on them and are in perfect condition. Looking for $500. Let me know ...

Do you have a picture of the rims on the car? I've made several posts about the Mambo rims and am looking for a picture on the car but nobody seems to have one.

I had a set that is on ebay.

Loved how they look for being only 15 inchers.
