SimonU 0 Posted April 20, 2004 I've got an idea what they look like, but because everyone seems to junk the originals you don't see many C's with them. The wheels on mine at the mo, 15" Momo something or other, are awful and I don't think they suit the C at all plus they are kerbed to buggery (previous owner)!! Looking to change them before the summer with BBS splits, but not sure which ones, nothing too big, I want to keep to the original looks as much as possible. Has anyone got pics of original wheels for 2.0 16v? or link?? Cheers in advance Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Brookes 0 Posted April 20, 2004 Estoril's are the standard wheels for 16V 2.0l http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... gory=28648 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted April 20, 2004 Heres what they looked like on my 16v... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SimonU 0 Posted April 20, 2004 Maybe I wont be going standard then!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kvwloon 0 Posted April 20, 2004 SimonU, Blimey, that's a bit mean! I think theyr'e not bad myself, trouble is they do tend to look a bit like plastic wheel trims to joe public I guess. How about some 1.8 16v / Golf Rallye type Sebrings instead as an alternative but still within the VW range? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted April 20, 2004 I rather like the Estorils myself.. but each to their own I guess. Rather those than 15" Momo's!!! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted April 20, 2004 I kinda like them for a standard wheel as well.... Just like I think the speedlines are rather nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted April 20, 2004 G60 BBS rims are the best "standard rim" IMO, my C came with these which was 8) Didn't know much about C's at the time so I guess that was a lucky find (even if the rest of it was an unlucky find LOL) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted April 20, 2004 Your valver was really pretty gorgeous looking Jim. Mine has dealer optional Ronal's on it - seen a few Cs with them in the past. I really hate them though. Need new ones! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 23, 2004 Ah Estorils. I adore those wheels. Wish they were available in 5 stud. When I had my MK2 Golfs, I couldn't get a set of those for love nor money. K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted April 23, 2004 Isn't it funny. I think we all drive the wrong cars! You need to trade over to a 2.0 16v Kev :D And I bet you could have got em when you had your Golfs Kev.... if you fancied handing over £250 PER CORNER for them at the Stealers!!

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 23, 2004 Don't even joke about Stealers Jim. My MK2 16V Turbo had Corrado G60 wheels on it and when some tart drove into me and bent one of the rear wheels, VW billed me £330+centre cap+VAT for 1 wheel :? I wish I had gone 2.0 16V to be honest. I've seen a 2.0 16V Turbo Corrado on Stealth's rollers kicking out over 250bhp. I love the 16V T engine..... makes the VR feel soooooo slow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveStorm 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Daves16v they look like the standard 2.0 8v wheels you have on there which look really nice. 8) Any idea what name VW called them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daves16v 1 Posted April 23, 2004 Estorils and 16v T in one sentence.........mmmm nice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kvwloon 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Yep, Estorils are nice, I'd like a set. They look nicely over-engineered in a typically German quality way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted April 23, 2004 got to say i like the sebrings and not just because thats whats on mine! they could do with being a bit wider but i think they really suit the C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SimonU 0 Posted April 28, 2004 Just when you thought this thread had died... I think I'm going to go for the G60 BBS alloys, I know strictly speaking thats not keeping the car standard but there still from a C right!! Just found two on ebay but I was too late!! Does anyone have a spare set lying around?? How rare are they?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know but I'm sure someone on here will chip in :) Just to clarify, the wheels on daves16v C are the same as mine and were standard on the last examples of the 2.0 16V (probably the 8V too) - model year '95 only I think... They're called "Westwoods" btw. DtM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
