« on: 12 April 2007, 22:45 »
This is my Mk1 Gti with full BBS kit, kent cam, ported polished, four-branch manifold, 2.2 Audi throttle body. Thinking of changing the whels, any advice? Cheers, Joel

Nice, I also have throttle body, manifold / supersprint stainless system :)

As for the allys def get rid of em, Plastic 5 spokes are nasty - I used to have some and you'll appreciate your mk1 so much more with a nice set of rims!

I reckon some 14's, say 6-7J wide, deepdish and get em powder coated black maybe with a lighter carbon grey colour on the inside of the spokes, would look awesome!

I'd personally go for some black/dark colour alloys rather than silver, but thats just me :)

That's a wicked mk1. :cool: Deffo needs change of alloys though and a bit of lowering. I use five spokes on my Rallye as winter wheels only as I just don't like them much at all and they were on it when I bought it, so deffo recommend a wheel change.
