    In the last 2 years or so, I've been seeing a number of jetta's and passat's with 19" bentley wheels! For the most part, I've liked the look..a classic full faced wheel that fits the passat especially when trying to get away from the tuner style wheel common to jetta's. What do u guys think? After looking at numbers..not sure what kind of suspension u can run with a 19 x 9 wheel..and would u need adapters? Someone said no in another VW forum..just buy and put on..INFO PLEASE thank you!!!

    bentley owns vw and i believe its the standard 5x112 lug. I bet they would be pure bliss on the b6. Have fun money wise, cant be cheap im sure.

    Not really a fan on the Bently wheel on a B6, not my cup of tea. But if you like them go for it!

    They are 5x112.

    They are pretty generous fitments too. IIRC the Continentals are 19x9 et44 5x112 57.1mm hub and everything. Will bolt right up.

    The wheels above are by far my favorite, with out a doubt, but have not had the money at availability for them, The 5 star Bentleys have been done as well and look fantastic ( Both Coupe GT ans GT Roadster versions) Good luck but remember a serious drop will be required to seriously make them POP with stretched tires

    I say no, Bentley wheels are now a style you can buy at walmart for 4.99 with a purchase of a 12 pack of soda, everyone has em now on their 1994 Buick La Sabres and 300M's. I would try to find something more unique.

    at $2,800+ I doubt these are walmart rims
    I just like them...they seem classic and more grown up..LOL...seem to fit better on a passat then a jetta...i would expect a more tuner look like rota's or volks(which are excellent by the way)..just not on a passat!!
    BUT like he said to each their own..being unique..and LOVING it is the key

    They're nice rims. Personally I can't stand having the 'B' on the center cap when they're on a dub, but that's me. If I rocked Bentley rims, I'd find a way to put a VW logo on the center caps.

    I don't mind the B so much, because 99.9% of people don't know what it is anyway.

    You are correct. Did some research. They paid around 450 million for bently back in 98 and used to own rolls royce. I believe bmw owns rolls royce now.

    "Volkswagen owns: Audi, Volkswagen, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and overseas SEAT and Skoda. "

    They don't look bad but a little bling for my tastes. It's a VW, not a Bentley I say go for something else.

    Personally I think Bentley wheels belong on a Bentley. With all the other good aftermarket options out there why spend all the money on these? Putting Bentley wheels on a VW is tacky IMO.

    Actually, if you could replace the 'B' with the VW logo it wouldn't be bad.
