got too excited and didnt look properly. i know im really stupid! i just bought 4 wheels from ebay and i thought the listing said 5x100 bolt pattern but i just checked now and he has it listed as 5x110 bolt pattern. the thing is that this guy said he had the wheels on a saab 9-3 convertible and I have a VW GTI. I checked on tirerack and i didnt see any SSR GT1 wheels with 5x110 bolt pattern that fit the saab 9-3 (like when i select 2003 saab 9-3, i dont see tirerack have SSR GT1 listed for that car) but when i select 2000 VW Gti, i see these wheels with a 5x100 that fits. what can I do? please help. does he have the bolt pattern listed wrong? and once again, i already know im stupid for not checkin first....

Ask on a VW forum what wheels will fit on your car? The offset and bolt pattern in particular. mmmk.

Talk with seller? If he doesn't agree, ask if a small penalty fee of a price you say will work

No. IMHO the only option you have would be to have them redrilled (not recommended). I don't believe adapters exist for this.

Talk to the seller... if he doesn't agree to stop the transaction, sell these wheels and get something that fits ur car... you might be able to make a profit off these wheels while u are at it...
