RA's! Looks much more beefy. Big bumper mk2's look spot on with RA's and a 50 profile tyre :cool:

Going to have to say RA's as well...love turbos but think they suit small bumper mk2's better.

funny you should say that, it was sitting on some really low weitec springs......but they were just too hardcore for me, i had to avoid speed bumps like the plauge cos i was scrapping the bumper, the sump and the centre exhaust silencer,  so i bought some second hand eibachs off flea bay and bobs ur uncle  :smiley:

only thing is i can't decide wether or not the front looks too high compared to the back ?    :undecided:

RAs no contest,  turbos dont suit Big Bumper cars, where as the RAs are spot on!

RA's on your BB.

as I have a small bumper model, you might as well throw those turbo's my way  :smug:

Not actually a fan of RA's, but I think they suit the car better than the turbos. Why do you only have this choice of two rim styles though, there are many other styles of rims out there that really suit big bumper Mk II's

And yes to be honest the front of the car does look a little higher than it should do.
