Hi guys, my mk1 gte turbo currently has 15" mille miglia 5 spokes with toyo proxy tyres (brand new tyres).
Not sure I like the look of them on the car. What wheels would you guys go for? I want something that looks good but in keeping with age of car.
And would you stay with 15's or maybe go 17's? do 17's fit easy?

You'd be better with some 16's but can also fit 17's with no problem as long as they are the right offset

Borbet A, was looking at them earlier. Yes, oh yes.

I think 17's are too big. 15/16 is what I would go for.

I like the look of 5 spoke wheels on the mk 1 or multi spoke wheels

I think TSW Evo's from the 90's would suit. Or OZ ST's

The compo's are another good choice.

My mate bought my white mk1 GTE and painted it blue and put white compo's on.

I hated them at the time but I reckon it would look cool now.

I don't think that would look right on a mk1 astra, a mk1 Escort maybe.
