I was wondering if subaru wheels will fit on my 99' Beetle TDI. And or what other types of cars with 5x100 wheels that will fit. Thanks. pictures are always cool also.

Same bolt pattern but the offsets are higher on subaru and the hub bore on a subaru are 56.1 compared to our 57.1. So the answer is no unless you have the center bore of the wheels machined to fit.

Thanks. anyone else have any other input about wheels for me?
Probably not the right spot to post but I will be looking for some lightweight wheels for this little guy. The 18'' rims brought me from a 43 mpg average to a 40-41 mpg average and I need to go the other way. but I like the look. Maybe some 17'' rims?

You want a MPG jump, get some draglites something similar and put pizza cutters on them.
