Yes, but Vauxhall ET is 35 I think so you'll probably be needing 20mm spacers.

Try fitting a standard steel on back to front and you'll be able to tell.

Vauxhall ET is 35 iirc and VW ET varies between models.

Weller do actually do a steel rim with the correct offset for an e21. I'm just waiting for them to come back to me with a price and rim sizes.
