I'm with 20vcqdriver 215 at least, also helps protect the rims.

Keeping my eyes out for some 17x8 Azev A's, probably with a 205/45 or something on them.

I think it was the 60 profile that make the 15's look a bit pants. IMO.

If you have 15's with a 50 profile instead, they look a million times better.

these are 205/50/15 on a set of speedlines (that came off a type 89) & the car is lowered.

You can get tyres with rim protectors.

lewiswilkinson · 01-05-09, 07:57 PM

Thats cool ^^

Think the 89 is such a big car 15's (unless proper decked) would still look a bit lost.

Audicoupeparts - couldnt find those wheels - any chance of a direct link?
