Welcome to the site. I think that they are estorils. BBS split rims are really nice wheels but they are quite common ! There's a few wheel geeks on here that will be able to tell you all about them. I think the BBS RM's are nice but you pay a premium for them. As for the psi, I put 30 into mine all round running 195/50/15 tyres.

Don't go higher than 15s on a mk1 if you want my opinion as it just doesn't look right, 15's max but if you want to go low and stubby then you could always slam it and put some chunky 13s or 14s on. :smiley: I think that 15's would be best for yours as it's not lowered.

I've been noseying at wheels today so have a look at www.dubmeister.co.uk

like gib said, dont go max than 30 all round..im actually runnin 26 as my wheels were too hard, but i do need to look into my suspension set up.
bbs do look gud, but as said, are gettin abit common..
theres also styledynamix you could look at (bit dearer thou)
just don't get mine, or i'll be p!ssed..(not the ones in my sig) :smiley: :laugh:

did see sum modern lines on a cab in leeds and they suited.. :smiley: just depends on what you like, what style your going for and how much your willing to spend.  :smiley:

Cheers Gibby,

Thanks for the welcome.  Anyone put ats cups on a cabby? Thinking long term while its stored for the winter, i intend next summer to add a few bits.  been suggested to put an Apex suspension kit on it new wheels and probably a full exhaust system from the manifold back, used to have a TTR with a milltek kit sounded lovely, any suggestions for exhausts and other engine tuning mods.

Cheers Bilbo
