Standard suspension and alloys - what works??

Hi Guys,
I have a 1985 1.6 Cabriolet in Silver. I am running on standard shocks and springs and tarantulas. I dont have any body kit. I am happy with the look I have but I'd like to upgrade my alloys, and I'm thinking ronal turbo/ BBS RM's or something similarly retro.. 
I've been trying to find some pics of different alloys on st andard ride height, but not having much joy… please post any you have to help me out!!
Much appreciated!!

Looks spot on as-is Ru, leave it!    

It's all personal taste though I guess, so I think any BBS would work, not sure Ronal Turbo's would suit your car?

If you're wanting to keep it stock-ish looking how about something like Estorils? They'd look good on yours and easy to clean too

I agree, i think it looks good on the tarantuals's.

Why is it you want to change the wheels?

I think if youre keeping standard ride height any period vw alloy would do the job :0

Thanks guys,
They could use a refurb and I'm thinking that it could be a good time to change them up, even if just as a second pair…. 
have just been offered some 14" Mk2 banded steels too..
Hear what you're saying on the Ronals (I've wanted them for years just need the right car to fit some on!)

as above, I think scala/avus snowflakes would look good

like these:

Those look pretty good! I def prefer them to tarantulas so I've messaged him!
Thank you

Also they'll fill the arch a little better being 14's

(Before anyone chirps in..I know the overall size is the same if fitted with correct tyres, but you know what I mean)

Nice work! Thanks!
I might have to get the polish and paint out though!!

Yeah they work  

         

Damn you!!!

I have adjustable coilovers but drive 40 miles a day so don't want to rattle the car and myself) to death by fitting them!

Too low!

Now it looks like RichyHills tractor !!

Haha brilliant!

No, I'm pretty set on standard height for now. At least until I get my van back from resto.

Liking the look of the snowflakes, but it would be great if someone has any pics of some other options (or can P.S. them for me?!? )
Thank you!!
