best looking size and wheels for mk1 gti

What do you all reckon are the best looking wheels for a Red mk1 gti???

be different most will say ronal turbos ats cups or bbs splits tbh they all look good but do you wanna be a sheep  :dontknow:

go 4 sum 14" steelies with stretched low profiles

how about the ones it came out the showroom with?

Biggest I would go on a Mk1 is 15's.  That's what size the ATS Cups on the 16-S were and I think they also did P-slots that size but they might have been after market.

I wouldn't go much bigger or you'll have problems.

What's so wrong with the stock ones?

In any case, wheels tend to be a personal choice. There's a few popular ones but then if you fit these, you'll be accused of 'following the scene'.

John's right you know  :wink:

15" ATS Cups float my boat but generally come with an offset that could interfere with the arches.

Nothing "sheep" about a set of cult high quality rims, people who cant afford splits, usually shout the most its not following the crowd, the reason they are popular is they look the Bulldogs jewelery on any Dub!

besides any of that 15 inch BBS RS & RM`s are original "optional" VW rims from the G60`Golfs and Corrado`s

For some reason i prefer non split BBS, RAs i think? A little bit less 'look at me'

Correct 14"s were standard, other 15"s were an option.

8)  Butler if you EVER sell that car, give me a shout! its awesome

^^^Either one looks great,  and i would take the hand off any one that offered either set to me

I have a set of 195/45 R15 Toyo's ready for a set of wheels but im thinking of going for a set of 14", as 15" are just a little to big for me i think .  But then i have seen 16" porsche wheels look great on a Mk1

Perhaps some images will help.  I am a pic whore so here is a few to discuss

Cheers mate mines got the rs`s on and bens has the e30`s  :mrgreen:

No bigger than 15's

14's are perfect, banded steels, BBS

Id like a set of mini lights with a red ir black centers

Theyd look sick in 13" or 14" on a red mk1.

Or widend steelies.
