Mk1 Wheels - what? UPDATE

Looking for wheels for my Mk1. It's getting painted a similar colour to the PVW rallye - it's another Audi Grey getting a pearl too. The arches are rolled right out so it will take some phat rollers!! What does everyone reckon? I don't know where to start...

EDIT: What do we all think of these in a 15X8 - certainly old school and will match all my chrome trim nicely:

I`d go ATS Cups

 

Can't fit big brakes behind ATS cups... 256mm max, unless you use spacers

 

colour coded wrd mesh 8x15s
oz turbos

plenty fat rim choice,i reckon id go 8x15 next time,think its best size for a mk1.

 

BBS Splitties with wide rims on

 

Didnt know you had a MK1

Any Pics ??

 

ats classics in 13x8

 

Only just got it, mate! I can get pics but it ain't too attractive at the moment - looks like it's standing on stilts, isn't painted and has no interior It's getting painted pearlescent grey in a week or two, then I'll cut the springs just to get the ride height where it will be when my new suspension arrives, then I can experiment with wheels and check the clearance

I'll post progress pics when the ball gets rolling - I'm so excited!!!

 

P.S. I should have mentioned it'll be running something like TSR 285mm brakes - will have 200 odd BHP so brakes will be important They'll fit under 15's won't they?

 

Porsche design 90's

 

Mattig steels. 8x15 with the centres painted Nimbus Grey. Not small enough for the proper Euro look but still "different".

I'd tell you another great wheel but I'm keeping that to myself.

 

These bad boys are 9x13 but you get the jist

 

they looklike my old pug 205 rim but real deeeeep

 

who sell Mattig steels

i like ats cups or ronal turbos

 

Best place for Mattig wheels is German ebay.Although I think R&A might have a contact. If you search on ebay and type Mattig SSF you will find some.

SSF stands for Sportstahlfelgen (sports steel wheels).

 

Ronal Turbos, though i'm bias

 

On a Mk1 I'd fit either:

BBS Splits (not biased )
ATS Cups
15" Pirelli P's (polished of course)

 

All good suggestions...A lot of the stuff on German eBay, the ppl won't ship to Australia and if they do it costs me a fortune [:^(]

 

Depends if it's going to be a show car, or snarling tough track sl*g mobile.

If the latter, a set of 7x15 flat black Team Dynamics ProRace 1


oh, just read the first post, he said PHAT

I can be persuaded on the fat part!! I'm actually even thinking about putting the silver Ronal multi-spokes from my Ibiza on as I reckon they'd look quite good...? (16x6.5")
