do any al(aluminum) rims fit a jetta3? (14"). or is it too heavy for some rims; i have an offer for 5 spoke rims and the spoke isnt very big; i want to make sure the rims will hold the extra weight, before i buy.

Quite a few MK3s had aluminum rims.
Here's a pic of the Rabbit with some Orlandos that came from a MK3:

the 1 guy had some 5spoke for sale; i dont think the 5 spoke, looks like the type ud see on gti back then; i dont think that 5spoke had enough to hold up a mk3 jetta. i got a guy w/audi rims, look ok, getting them.
