Is the bolt pattern/offset for the 2006 NB the same as the older NB's? I know it changed for the Jetta/GTI's... What about the NB's?

They should still be the 5x100mm bolt pattern. I saw a whole slew of them this morning dropping off my ride for service. They just got a shipment of 06s. I think i like the other 06 wheels better personally.

Being they are new designs, you might be hard pressed to find any. Check a VW dealer if you "need" them.

Even though the Golfs, Jettas, Passats and Beetles all got a 2006 facelift, everything but the Bug went MK5, the Beetles are still MK4's, just facelifted.
