Whgy did they never find an alloy wheel design that suited the VW Corrado

Have to agree with comment #3 - speedlines are perfect.

 

 

A Corrado is for life, not just for the MOT.

i agree too - especially with their relatively light weight

 

i do really like those Ronal Turbo's though but it is autostrada modena's i want for my VR :D

To some degree they are perfect...

 

We were putting 15" BBS wheels on GTI's in the late 80's - I've always felt the Corrado with its rather large wings, hind quarters and altitude could of easily worn a 16" or 17" from the factory - which I hate to say would of aged more gracefully...

 

I think somersetdub hit the nail with Evolos

You've got the throw back to the 90's and the speedline with the 5-spoke design, yet a wheel that looks modern.

I agree, although 16" would fill the arch out a bit more.

Increasing the rolling radius fills out the arch a bit more, but then you get fouling issues and the speedo is wrong.. (and the car goes slower). 16s on their own don't change the arch-fill quotient. Lowering it does though.

Speedlines are the perfect wheel for the C. Though, arguably a 16" version would fill the arches better.

Have to agree with my own comment...... :)

 

However, I do find myself looking at those d90's though, can't make my mind up if it's the stance, wheels or both but it's a dam good picture!

Personally I think the Sebrings, Speedlines and Solitudes all look fantastic on the Corrado to be honest. Estorils.. probably not so much!

Speedlines with a moderate drop. Doesn't get any better than that. VW have always been good at choosing wheels.....apart from the Ronal Teddy Bears.
