I have no idea, but I am lost between liking and disliking them. They look kind of cool, but I'm not sure I would like them on your Vibe, and I tend to like to see a lot of gapping in the spokes of the wheels to see the brakes, but they are kind of cool....

It is either the Rabbit or GTI. They both have the same body style.

You know, I bet they'd look better if they were chrome instead of brushed aluminum like they look here, but I do somewhat agree about them looking cartoonish. I would also be willing to bet they would look better if the plastic trim on our vibes were body color (premium monotone package thingy).

I'v alway's thought the idea of painting the lower cladding make's the car look lower,IMO. I prefer the brush aluminum look my self but that's just me....nuvibe

The way they look on the ride in your post is the best I have seen them. Every other picture I have seen of them doesn't make them look good IMO.

I was on craigslist last night and seen some wheel's and they where for a Vdub and the bolt pattern was 5x100 so they must fit the Vibe...nuvibe

My old wheels did and my bro-in-law also wanted them for his wife's VW Passat.
