Hi username, with mine being a 1.6 GL decided to take the RS wheels off, these are the standard wheels for it. Looks a bit euro with it being lowered

Oh right, I know i'd seen them sort of wheel before but never thought they'd have been original to a cabby. Yeh it does have that look to it you're right, first thing that came to mind when I saw it was polo G40's etc. Don't ever band them and fit ridiculously skinny tyres though, nor run the fronts entirely on their inner bead haha that'd be too much (then again, now I say that & look at the photo again, it could work...) btw, are the arches rolled?

The wheels are 13" with 175/70 tyres. Ghia's had them with chrome rings and chrome centre caps. It's been dropped about 40mm, and arches haven't been rolled.

The plan was to take it back to standard hence the wheels.

The tyres should be 155's on full profile but reckon they would look too tall.

Not doing the banding thing, as any deeper it would either rub the inner arch or the outer arch would need rolled.
