I thought you might like those, very similar styling to the oetteringers.

I thought that was the reason why the smallest size they had were 19's.

B5's could fit 19's with stretch! It would look better on B6, B7, or B8 tho.

Just call tire rack if you have any questions, they are really great and helpful...

and that's not what it says, look closely, all the crap is included:

The following wheel-specific hardware will be included with your order at no additional charge.
(20) Required lugbolt for vehicle
(4) Required centering ring
(4) RETAINING CLIP FOR AL-P RING +}

Audis/VW's need hubcentric rings for better fitment and to prevent shaking at higher speeds.

Q: Exactly, what does hub centric mean?

A: Hub centric wheels are manufactured so that when they
are installed on a vehicle, the wheels are located directly
off of the center flange of the brake drum or rotor.
This is done to insure that the outer beads of the wheel are
concentric with the wheel bearings. The result is a much
truer, better balanced tire/wheel assembly. This is very
important with modern hightech suspension systems.

Those wheels aren't my cup of tea but I'm sure the only way to get them is by privately sending them here since Holdens aren't for sale over where we are.
