There are a few Factory Alloy options (http://vintagewatercooleds.com/tech/Techtips/Timbotechnotes/wheels/wheels.htm) or 13" Steel wheels of which there are the Rabbit, Fox, Jetta/Golf versions. I think on a Rabbit at least the 9 spoke alloy or 13" Bottle Caps (http://www.car-part.com/images/interchange/W69652.gif) look best for 13". Do some searching on car-part.com (http://www.car-part.com) the search has pictures of most stock wheels. $200.00 should get you quite a bit, for instance at least around here, the yards are lousy with the 13" 9 Spoke alloys, prices run $25-$50 each. You can also find cheap wheels (stock and after market) on the vortex classifieds (http://forums.vwvortex.com/zeroforum?id=800)
