Hi I just got a Pug 205 and I'm looking for some inspiration on wheels. I had thought about 1.9 gti alloys because they just look so right, but Iv'e been thinking along these lines... My car is an 89 1.  , I was 19 in 1989, if Id had it then what wheels would I have put on it? any ideas ? Cheers steve. |

Now they are nice, thanks for that PhoenixCapri. Iv'e been thinking again (dangerous I know), I couldn't have afforded to buy my car new, still cant lol! so maybe i should be looking at the early 90's too for wheel choice. Just please don't say Venoms, Iv'e just never been a fan. Cheers steve. |

Personally I'd stick with the 1.9 GTi wheels. They're just ..... right!

The BBS type wheels do look good on that 205 above,I may think about them, also TSW evo's I quite like.
Thing is nothing yet is making me think YES I have to have them!

Mim look good on that vintage car, or alleycats
It's more about the size and the tyre profile you choose. A wide 13 with chunky tyres is pretty age appropriate.
P.s. On my phone so photos are a pain

Can't find a pic of a 205 wearing some, but it would 100% have to be some 15" Momo Arrows if it were my car. A 106 wearing some is as near as I could get...     I had a picture of momo arrows in my head and couldn't for the life of me think what they were called l always wanted these on my 205 |

Thanks for the pics Mystery Machine, they are quite nice. I think I have just learned something, I like simple, uncluttered wheels. I don't like the way the spokes are kind of split in half. I seem to like my wheels to look, kind of solid and smooth. stuff like this...  and this  |
