All mk4 are 5x100, with the details you provided its impossible to give you an educated answer... If they are 5x100 and 17 or 18x7.5 or close to what they look yes... Everything depends on offset and tires.

Get more info.
Quick answer , yes

Thank you so much for the info, you can tell im a newb..

"markings on the rear of the wheels are: ET 47 7.5J x 17H2 and BBS wheel"

Is that cool?

"rim offset is 44"

Does all this help..?

You wouldn't know how much these would be worth do you? no tyres.

They dont look like true BBS to me... 500-750 I'd guess...

They won't fit...Passats are 5x112, MK4s are 5x100. You can get adapters that will allow you to install them though.

Changed my mind on these, they look like high maintenance! I can imagine every few days lol getting on all fours to frikin clean em.....

Ok thank you both for very very helpful input. I have decided which ones i want and will post the top 3 in my selection if people are interested in voting for the best w/comments. I will do that soon
