whats size wheels are you going for if you go with RS's. I thought you were going for the small and wide look?... I'm guessing you're asking about adapters if you find a set of 928 wheels? 928s look big on a mk1....

I think 928 are 16s!.... not for me but i suppose its personal choice, i think RS smallest size is 15" which is still quite big for the look you originally wanted... I have gone for 15" RA's for mine... are you not going for the slammed look now?

Wow, this has changed... I thought you wanted the euro look, slammed to the floor with wide wheels, those porsche wheels from earlier were commented as big.  17s would be massive... Mk1s can run 17s but it aint nice, won't ride nice and you'll stuggle to lower it on them.. Dont know what these 17s are from but if you need adapters then remember this will bring the wheels out making it even harder to fit them behind the arch.

thats alright, you've gotta toy with ideas first before you take action.. personally i think your first idea was the best... my thoughts are that mk1s and big wheels is a no no... 15s is the max and they dont look small on a little car like this... you wont be able to slam it on anything bigger without loads of trouble, with the BBS kit on mine I struggled with 15s!. that picture i posted earlier with the 928s on are 16s, can you imagine another inch on that....

Mk1 on 14s



on 15s



on 16s



on 17s



FYI the car with 14s and the car with 17s is the same car!!  :smiley:
