I've not even seen them yet!!! so what do people think on tyres

165/55

or 155/50

thats would be on a 6J

Normally I'd recommend as wide as poss for traction, but with a massive 895cc you'll be reet on 155/50's

Sorry guys i did actually make it to Edition but didnt stop the party till 7am, rob and dave can both back me up on this, so as a result sunday i couldnt be arsed walking around in the rain, the car never made it out the campsite and i didnt even take any pics.

But here are the wheels a few days before when they had new rubber put on.

Ttej that looks sweet on the standard rims! New rims look nice, need to see pics of it on them

Wow mate. You really did those wheels justice. Glad they went to you :-) Get some pics of them on.

ATS wheels that i had brought in from the motherland. Surely going to look the nuts on the mk1.

spray it with a bright red and detail the white hazard logo with some white with a brush job done

Sell me it!!! I need a mandarin orange mk1 in my life :crybaby:

I was thinking of spraying but that's moving away from the oem look. I'm gonna try a metal polish and see if I can remove the oxidation.

It might be up for grabs soon as I might be loosing my lockup so unless I find a new home for it.

But I'm gonna get the new wheels on before any of that.
