What wheels should my car have?
The wheels I have are non standard, and I'm looking to get a set of original ones for it, if I can.
It's a 1983 (DW chassis number) 1.8 GTI, no sunroof, but everything else is campaign spec…
BUT, it's on a 1987 D plate, as it 'was registered overseas' and 'declared manufactured 1986' according to the V5.
So, campaign spec minus sunroof, would that mean I need some P-slots? or if I go by the 1983 chassis plate, do I need something else?
It doesn't reall matter too much, I'm just curious, I suppose any GTI wheels would do really.
Thanks in advance.

If its a 1983 GTI you should have the tarantula alloys as seen on my car.
It is a genuine 1983 DW chassis GTI
Or the pirelli's if you want the "campaign" look
Look here.

thats one clean motor you have there!!!
Like the man says, 9 spoke would probably be more authentic - mine had them on.

If you opt for 14'' pirelli p's for example they're 6J instead of 5.5 like 9 spokes. Worth a mention! I'll be flogging my set of 9 spokes at Leeds VW festival. Tyres as new (cheap but look good). They need refurb though, flaking in places but look fine at a glance, run perfectly, with centre caps.
