My friend had some very similar wheels on his Corrado. He solved the 
problem by buying different wheels-- five spoke ones that were 
similar to the pinnafarina wheels that used to be on the Corrado. He 
picked them up at Campbell Nelson, and auto recycler (junkyard) here 
in the northwest who had them on their showroom floor (presumably 
pulled off of some totaled car).

I know it's not what you were looking for, but you could always go 
out and buy some new wheels, and sell your current ones on the GTI 
list. (maybe people won't buy them on this list ;-)
