Nice score, les! =)
Epsilon Racing still makes wheels, but now they only make wheels for
trucks/suv's, etc..

weaves, alot like what you've got there, on my '85 IROC-Z.. yes, back

I was visiting my brother last weekend and he asked if I wanted a set of
wheels for my Golf. What he had was a set of 3 Piece Epsilon Racing Wheels.
I remembered these from way back when. The set he offered are 15x7.5" and
15x8 in a hubcentric 4x100 bolt pattern. Unfortunately, they are
approximately 10mm offset so I will have to use spacers OR get new barrels
made. He found them in an old BMW 2002 in a salvage yard. They were in
descent condition. The lips need polishing but the centers are in good
shape. I will likely have to have new lips made anyways if I want them to
fit over my Corrado Brakes and still clear the front fenders. But the rears
fit well and fill the wheel wells to the very edge. What's amazing is that
these wheels weigh a paltry 15lbs each!
According to Kodiak in Canada, they can make chromed and polished barrels in
my desired offset for about $198 per wheel. More stuff to throw into my MKII
parts bin.
