Don't know whether you're interested or not but i've got a set of RH cups for sale, which look sweet on a mk1 and no arch mods needed.

Have a look in the autojumble under rh cups for sale or swap.

p.s the cars about 15mm lower now than in the pic and doesn't catch anywhere. :smiley:

i like the azevs but think they suit mk2 better, then ronal turbo's but they've been done to death a bit. hmmm don't know what to suggest. but i don't really like brocks.

Ronals been done to death  :sad:, almost bought some. Looking for a five spoke type wheel with a dish, if you know what I mean.

yeah been done to death but if a set came up at the right price i'd have 'em straight away. i seem to think you've got a pretty tasty car by the sound of things and just thought that if your going for a face lift then ronals may not be the most original way to go. sweet wheels though and the originals without the writing are awesome yeah. bit like those schmitt th lines, but one piece.

LOL, it pull quite well  :wink:.
I want to keep the car as a bit of a sleeper so I don't want 19" wheels etc, still thinking about the ronals.
Thanks for the replies.
