James has the right idea.
Get some original VW wheels and have the centers cut out. Then after chroming, get them welded to some 8\" wide bands (after they are chromed too) You could even have them welded to some 16\" bands to make a really unique wheel that no one else on your block would have.
If you haven't bought the wider fenders, 8s will fit under the stock fenders with the right offset. If you like this idea, I can help you to determine the exact offset required.
