Title: alloys
Post by: [han] on 19 July 2005, 10:33
i know that i've asked this before, but i can't find my thread...
does anyone know which alloys i can buy that i can declare as standard on a mk2 driver 1991... i'm prepared to buy some if not - can bump up my premium at crimbo with 2yrs ncb!
anyone got any suggestions as to what would suit my car, and are not that expensive.. living on a student budget here! thanks :kiss:

as a driver han there isnt really any alloys that were standard fitment... but u could go for gti wheels be it p-slots or castellets or standard 16v gti rims or even bbs.. there is a choice but to insurance companies alloys are alloys!

You could go for a set of G60 steelies. I think there really nice for steelies and suite a mk2. Wont affect y insurance either.

Depends who your insured with really a few don't mind alloys on your car don't think drivers came with alloys but P-slots, BBS etc should look nice and original.

Yup sure do IMO tooooooo risky not to,it's sods law that you're more like to have an accident ( even if it's not your fault ,and knowing what insurance companies are like , they'll try and get out of paying up any way they can :angry: ) if you don't. :wink:
