I was actually around (and modding cars) in the early 90's and as far as I can remember 15's were the predominant wheel size. My mate got some TSW blades in 16" in 95 and that was well outside the norm. If I remember correctly 17's didn't become popular until about 97-98 onwards. So really the 90's look would be 15's on a mk1. Don't forget in the early 90's most mk2's would still be fairly pricey and out of reach of most modders.

Thats still 11 years ago!!! i was still in school, telling all my mates that im gonna get a mk1 golf, while others ponderd over scoobys hehe enough of that tho...

i remember my brothers mate putting 17" momo arrows on his punto gt back in 97 man he was the dogs!!

I had 17's on my mk2 last summer for a day or two, i couldnt get on the rollers with my 14's on so had to borrow these off a mate.(couldnt be botherd adjusting the coils) Ok the style of the wheel is lets say err crap but i kinda liked it!! Plus it showed of my coilovers, discs and goodrich hoses!! hehe


Even the guy who dyno'd it said how pleased he was with the way it looked!! :evil:

that look will come back, it look great until the big body kit thing came on! but if your car is subtle with big wheels and very low it just looks phat  :smiley:

for the authentic 90's look you need some TSW Venoms.


I don't think a semi will give the same results
