GTi Si Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 What some fresh wheels on the car - love the Bathursts but are 1" too small and sit too far from the arches and car is way lowered!Choice:RH Classics: 7.5 x 16Porsche Design 90's: 7 & 8 x 16Whats everyones thoughs?The Porsche will need adaptors, but never seem some on the Lupo - do they look good?Out of interest what is the max width where you dont need arch mods? And offset.CheersS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTi Si Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I think 16's will look the best size - 17's seem too big.Any pics of them?S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTi Si Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Perfect size and stance style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />So which wheels??? I do like the Classics, but need a refurb and tyres and cost over £200 for just the rims.....S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Like both mate or find something that no one else has......mine have become an old school wheel and took me ages to find in 4x100.Your choice style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTi Si Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 D90's look cool. Did they use the 7's or 8's? Also, any particular width adaptors so the ET isnt messed up?The RH's are nice deep dish - yumRocco is the man - got some v nice 13's from him, but they are too small for the Lupo style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />SMike, do you know of any good wheel refurbers in the south? I'm in Portsmouth.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
