As long as the offsets close, you should be ok man.
Vws just use bolts instead of studs and nuts. Get some alloy nuts (scoobys are a good fit) and you should be fine man.
Plenty of folk have run vw rims on 300s with no reported probs. Offset is the only sticking point man.

I have 14" steels from a VW Passat, and a Seat Toledo. ET38 so it's pretty much a perfect match. Seems to work fine enough without doing anything to the center bore size mismatch (got ex-Toledo winter tyres under the 340 now...) but I guess I'll only stop worrying after getting spigot rings at some point. 8) Of course with steel rims there are no problems with nuts, conical seats.

my worry is the nut isent the corect fiting for the wheel. ive got some radeus nut that i might cut the end of and use them with my origanal nuts so they seat properly

Thats a real shame, sounds like it was a bit of an animal :D

Off topic is fine, as i think we've expended all the pics of 300's wearing VW/Audi wheels in the pic above :lol:
