Well I am about to lash out a very large sum of money on some new wheels for my mk2. So i would like to know what you think because there not cheap and i don't want to make a mistake with them.

The whees are a copy of the RS 4spokes but in 7" x 15" :thumbright: To help me decide on the size i fitted some 17" wheel a while ago to see what they looked like and from those that saw the pics will agree they are too big.
That left 16's or 15's.
So after a bit of Photoshop I think the 15" are best. Thanks to Andrew T for the close up wheel pics. They are with the wheel makers so they can make them to match the raised spokes as on the 7X13's :thumbright:

And Ders, I think its your car. I hope you don't mined me using a pic of it, as i didn't have a good pic of mine.
Top pic are the 13's bottom pic the 15's

So RS rims in 15" what you all think ????????

Don't think so Rob, 13s look best on a mk2 IMO, But at
the end of the day its your money so go with what ever you like :thumbright:

Stick with what Henry originally decided. 13's
Unless you want a Retro Drag Pikey Style.

mmm mix then :rolleyes: I would like to try 16's but that may be going to far.
Well its only money and i got the car for £1 :occasion9: so nothing to loose.

Oh. Would a Cossie motor help to lower it :eek:

I like them :thumbright: but would have to see them on the car before I could say yes/no, the only other thing is you will need big brakes now to fill the gap behind the wheel = more money
