Hey Crossy,

I think you'll find a useful thread on page 2 of this section, think it's called GTV Wheels or Rims, huge number of replies should be the giveaway. Plenty to see and help you decide. If you want the abridged version of it;
(1) 17" Teledials are pretty much universally adored,
(2) BBS CH and other variants of the same brand in 18" are 'the dogs'
(3) OZ's in 18" are a credible contender in a couple of different models

Hope this hasn't ruined a good read for you

Here is my 1999 v6 with 19x8 up front with 225/35/19 and 19x9.5 on the rear with 265/30/19.. The rims are Tsw Kyalami with Alfa centers, the offset is ET35 front and back and I have 15mm hubcentric spacers all round to clear the front calipers and fill the rear arches... I have Koni shocks on quite a hard setting with no rubbing at all !! The springs are -35mm at the mo but I just received the -55mm so planning to fit them in the next few days... I have a wheel arch rolling tool so I can cure any rubbing on the rear if the new springs cause a problem...

thanx for your replies guys, i really like the bbs style wheels but in an 18 probably with a 30mm drop, is there any problem getting these wheels to fit over my calipers and where's the best place in the UK, already tried wheelbase they have nothing to fit a spider!!!!
