Stunning. Simply stunning.

WOW!

Seriously cool car and even cooler rims!!!

[Altrezia]

Thanks guys!

[Pistuphead]

Very Nice!!!

[poobah]

Look awesome dude. Had some on my last car. They made me want to kill myself due to the torture of cleaning them on a daily basis. 2 hours every night.................worth it though

[mattiselvis]

That is old school . Love it!

[abarthchris]

get some wax sealant on those bad boys sharpish! that should make them easier to take care of.

oh, and nice rims by the way!

I think it's really cool this small(ish) and wide wheel look but with such low profile tyres it must really mess up your gearing.

The rolling circumference must be way smaller!

Sexual is the word that instantly pops into my mind, but then I do have a dished wheel fetish

What offset are the rears? And was arch clearance the only reason you didn't go for 9J's all round??

[negative creep]

Very nice. Always liked the Rallye, nice to see one in such good condition

[altrezia]

Rolling diameter is about the same, standard wheels/tyres are 7x15, 195/50/15s.

Mine are 7x16, 195/40/16

Arch clearance is a proper issue! - had to raise the car a bit to stop the wheels scrubbing. It's going back to the bodyshop soon to get the arches pulled back some more

Depending on where you are in the country, have a word with Phil @ Archenemy.

Thanks mate.. I've already had the front arches cut back to the edge (so nothing to 'roll') and the rear ones cut back to the spot welds - I now need to actually widen the front arches a bit, and pull the rears out slightly too - more than the average arch-roller can manage!

Love the German beast,that paint job is sweet.

[oilchange]

the rear tyres look exceptionally 'tight' on the rims. Are the tyres the right sizes for the wheels?

just curious.
