    you got pics of them on the car. perosnally i wouldnt have bought them but. The way i think about cosmetic mods is that if you like them and its your car then so be it. Who cares what others think as long as your happy. just my 2c worth.

    my personal opinion is they look bankstown no offence it is your personal choice for $2000 you can do a five stud vr6 brakes conversion and 16inch polo gti wheels or bbs now thats unique plus you will have scrubing issues with 17s and low profile tyres arent cheap take my word i had 17inch gzeros on the datto i went through two sets of tyres at 120 each

    if think performance and handling terms, you wont get better than a 50 profile tyre on a 15" rim for a mk1 - providing you have the suspension and added subframe components to stop the rest of the car from bending from the extra grip - but thats not what our topic is...

    i dont much like the wheels either, sorry mate

    having said that, i've seen a few mk1's with big shiny wheels and theres something there that works about it, is just not to my taste

    good on ya for havin a go - look what i started with!

    Fix the rust, black the bumpers and guards, and you may be onto a winner. And get some spacers. you need to add some Phat.

    The Porsche 928's are a 16" I have them, I may be able to off load them to you if you want, also with the adapters as well. PM me if you want.

    This is to give you a look at what they look like a vr6

    I'm soo euro even my missus is shaved...

    If you're after 928 wheels, then look no further than Steve! Those things would look superb on the Mk1, and I'd take polished Porsche rims over those chromies anyday!

    yeah that rust was a surprise when i pulled off the zender bar. ive gone through the car with a professional spray painter and there is no major rust just surface rust and where there is some old primer.

    what are the dimensions of the 928s?? 16x8??? im mega broke atm. heaps of bills to pay, and rego.
