Recommended Posts

At the weekend, i picked up a mint mk4, tis an 1,6 Ghia on a D plate (87), its near standard bar a few bits n pieces but nowt major.

 

But i was wondering what wheels the car should have on..at present its on 3i dogleg alloys, but i beleive the early ghia models had steels n wheel trims.

 

Anyone got any ideas or am i barking up the wrong tree as normal

I dont wanna stick any other aftermarket rims on..I carnt find a pick of a standard ghia anywhere, to see if there the right one..if not, then standard ghia ones will be going on
