Did someone try GTI/CTI wheels on a 205 GL 1.1L? What are the consequences on handling and fuel consumption? Thank you

I have just purchased a very nice but slightly "boyed" 1994 205 Mardi Gras reg M540 NBL 1.1L with 205 gti wheels and track tyres. It drives terrible. Does anybody know if the drive will improve by putting normal tyres on these wheels, or would it be better to find some original wheels and matching tyres ( 165/70R13 ) as well. I am told the gti wheels are worth something, as are the road legal track tyres 195/50R, maybe ! although they look pretty worn to me........ I am also trying to find an original cassette/radio for her. Any suggestions gratefully received, Jeremy (Novice)

For anyone looking new SL 434 rims - I found a company in France selling them. http://www.rallycarsforsale.net/ads/4-wheels-pts-speedline-sl434-peugeot-205-gra/ Jim.

G'day For some reason have decided to go down the wide arch route on my 205. I Have a "dimma style" kit off an scrapped car (I know). I was after a bit of advice. Im going for a more rally style look as its stripped and caged already. I have full 309 front and rear set up so little bit wider. I really dont want to use spacers if possible. 1. Wheels - What wheels are people using? Any recommendations? Have seen the dimma st replicas for £400 each - bit too rich atm. Have considered banded steels (15 or 16) but not really the look I am going for. Seen the image wheels too...again a bit rich @ £300 each. At the moment the front runners are revolution RFX wheels - 15's 7" at the front ET0 and 8's ET-6 (Bout £580 for a set). I was really after 16's..so...basically -Does anyone know of any alternatives I am missing? have searched A LOT but so far not a lot. -Also with the 309 set up do you think I could get 9's (15's) on the rear? I know the dimma st site states max is 8's on the rears....(but for 16's) 2. Jacking - How do you jack up a dimma? bottle jack on beam or chassis? I was thinking of cutting a section out of the kit each side front and back for the standard jack and seal it etc. Anyone done this? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! Cheers Hud
