205 Xs What Wheels Should I Fit?

[bazil_205gti 22]

Hi

 

Ive just bought a graphite grey xs im not sure of which wheels to go for i think which ever ones i do choose will be painted white what are ur thoughts? 1.6 pepper pots, 1.9 speedlines or 106 rallye steels?

 

 

 

[Anthony 1,003]

Rallye steelies or 1.6 GTi alloys out of the list.

 

Looks nice and reminds me of my sorely missed Graphite XS (with 1.6 alloys to give you an idea):

 

[muddatrucker 125]

1.6 Alloys look best.

rallye steels

[calvinhorse 870]

1.6 alloys look the dogs nuts on a graphite, really retro and not too heavy

ive always had a soft spot for an xs and really like these on the original steels. i'd have that red panel off too....

bin the wheeltrims, keep the standard steels.

1.6 alloys, anything bigger than 14's look wrong on base models i think.

 

My old XS with 1.6 alloys:

 

[Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars]

306 DTurbo Harriers. Cheap, easy to balance, look great, don't catch if lowered.

...and for comparison purposes, a pic of my red XS with 1.9 alloys. This is a photo of a photo, is this was my car when I was a 19 year old student.....a long time ago now! Such a pretty alloy, that I would still be tempted to fit them I think! They do suit the pepperpots though - looks good in Anthony's pic above.

As said above. I like the rallye steels(got a soft spot as there fitted on mine )

 

but what about 106 xsi 5 spokes, don't remember the proper name of them if there even is one. They look really good on non gti, or get the std ones banded a bit??

£120 to have my original xs wheels stripped, sprayed and laquered, and they look great, They even put my new tyres on for free.

do you have any pics of your standard ones refurbed on the car? been thinking of that or swaying to the 1.6s

I ran them on mine for a while - they're OK but I don't think they suit it as well as some of the other options

Been meaning to reply to this for ages, apologies for the crap photo but the 106 Steelies are the best! I was going to get them done in silver for stealthiness, but the 6j versions are just too wide, make sure you get S1 5.5j.

 

 

I picked up some 106 wheels as they where cheap, local and wouldn't rub, I wasn't sure to begin with but I really liked them.

SL201's for me;

Alley i do like the look of the rallye steels you got any other pics? Different views? Also what is urs lowered by front and back? Cheers matt

[allye 530 3 Cars]

I don't I'm afraid, they didn't stay on long. It was around 30-35mm I believe. The springs were supposed to be 30mm and Anthony rebuilt the beam to suit. For a fairly mild set up it went round a corner!

A few photos of my 1995 205 Mardi Gras Diesel fitted with XS steel wheels I originally purchased in 1987 for my 205XLD which I purchased new and still own.
