ATS Cups.. 13" too small? Pic request?

hi guys, not sure if you all do pic requests here.. but as titled i'm thinking of getting hold of some 13" ATS Cups. Originally taken off some kind of Polo.. I'm wondering if 13" is too small?

Has anyone ever tried this? If so, will they actually fit.. and does it look any good? Or would 14/15s be better? their goin on a 83 Mk1 Driver (will be lowered of course!)

Thanks in advance

PS i hope this is the relevant section, its kinda modification lol

a fair few people run 13's i believe and they will fit as long as you have standard brakes. they can work but i think they look a bit on the small side most the time. heres some pics of some 13" classics:

Personally not a fan, seem to be fairly popular though. Probably wouldn't look as bad on a MK1 as it does on later models.

hehe yeah i ended up getting some BBS RA's instead for my Polo 6N which will eventually go on the Mk1

but i do like the cups, maybe next time and some 14" to play it safe!

13" ATS cups?  I didn't know they were ever made?

Sure they're not ATS classics?

Loads of people run 13"s, as long as you don't mind the car scraping every bump in the road it's all good  8)

i do really like the look of them though and might go for some needing a refurb if a cheap set crop up!

13" cups were made, but I think they were all no wider then 5.5 inchs (or none of the ones I have seen were )

I'm glad I didn't get them in 13 to be honest.. would much rather wait until some 14s came along.. I am liking your look ManicGTI lol
