Original Alloys on a Cabby??
Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could help, I've got an 1984 Cabriolet Gti currently running on some MOMO alloys, I want to get it back to as original as possible but I'm not sure what rims it would have been running on straight from the factory? Was there a standard wheel these would have come with or did it depend on what the original buyer requested? Its not a clipper or anything and its black if this helps?

I would have thought it would have been the old 13" 9 spokes as on the original 1800 GTIs.
Not 100% on that though.
Cheers,
Drew.

Guys,
Are you sure 13" 9 spokes on an '84 cab?
ETKA does not show these for an '84. I think it would be more like 14" AVUS 97 twin spoke wheel usually colour coded - also seen on scirrocos)
Also listed for the '84 Cab are:
BBS
HOCKENHEIM
ZANDVOORT
MONTREAL
LE CASTELLET
SILVERSTONE
ESTORIL
There are 11 types shown See pic in the Photos and Images section.

For the record, my brother's ex-German (LHD) '83 GLI Cabby ("DK" VIN no.) came with the 9-spoke alloys - even the spare was a 9-spoke.

My 84 Cab GTI had 13" 9 spokes on when I got it, I still have them if your interested, light kerbing but good for refurb, tyres no good.

I agree with the nine spokes, i think the ones after that were the scala type alloys with the coloured centres which came out on the D or E reg cabriolets.
