No good wheels for the corrado

**d-bot** · 07-10-2008 06:32 PM

After too many years of corrado ownership, there has yet to be found a perfect wheel for the corrado.

Prove me wrong.

And it better be good.

I'm right with you.

Posting wheels intended for Porsches, BMWs, etc. does not count.

The wheel must be 5x100 with an appropriate offset w/o the use of spacers.

I've been wheel-less for months and still haven't found a wheel I'm sold on. Sure, I love top notch BBS wheels like any other fanatic, but 99% of the time the width and offset are not ideal for the Corrado.

In My opinion theres a few nice wheels for the corrado
But Most Corrados Dont pull it off Stance wise

But if i had to Choose 301's For sure

**dogger** · 07-10-2008 11:52 PM

I love BBS CH's on a Corrado. I fell in love with them when a customer had them on his M3 a few years ago and always wondered how they would look on a Corrado. Yohannes proved to me they look sweet and now they are played out thanks to Dave!

**CorradoSLC** · 07-11-2008 12:05 AM

There aren't many...

15" - stock SLC speedlines

16" - Compomotive MOs (at about a 33 or less offset so the spokes are flat, not curved)

17" - Abt A9s. The original, circa 1997-98 - without lips, stretch, or any of that junk. IMO the most beautiful wheel ever made for the SLC or Mk3 VR cars.

**d-bot** · 07-11-2008 12:24 AM

Blah. 301's maybe but 17s are big for an early 90's sports car.

No one has proven me wrong yet. BTW, 16x9 anything suck. Tried that one before.

**Toffeerado** · 07-11-2008 01:32 AM

Plain and simple

There are few simple but big money wheels that would look perfect on the corrado

**a_riot** · 07-11-2008 01:53 AM

The wheels with all the bolts and such aren't spartan enough for the Corrado IMHO. THey look better on a later Golf. Speedlines have that spartan look, so I like them.

**Krazee** · 07-11-2008 02:55 AM

I believe that the perfect wheel size for the Corrado is 16x8 with a 35offset.

That said, these come awfully close.

Keeping an eye on this thread....

**abt cup** · 07-11-2008 03:14 AM

RS 301.

The RS that was made for the Corrado...well at least the VR6.

My other choice would be the Abt A9.

**MikkiJayne** · 07-11-2008 04:57 AM

IMO they don't get any better than Fat Fives. These wheels are perfect for the Corrado:

(Yareka's car)

If you want a period aftermarket wheel, the OZ Polaris:

Most of the BBSs are too fussy for the Corrado. I think it looks best with a clean set of bold 5-spokes

**itskmill06** · 07-11-2008 05:54 AM

borbet type B (pretty sure they have 2 styles that were type B)
edit: the tire rack type B's are actually type "CB"

also, Borbet Type T, and Type E (yet to see E on a corrado)

these would be interesting

Good luck finding a set. Mike has the only set i have ever seen and from what BBS said they were never put out on the market. Work Equip looks the same and you can find those in 5/100

RS is where its at....Id like to see a Corrado on Lee's old harrtmann's

**bmxrado** · 07-11-2008 07:39 AM

i like my a9s

**brilliantyellowg60** · 07-11-2008 08:05 AM

These are Corrado fitment, no adapters
As close to perfect as you can get

Definitely not the nicest rim posted in this thread. But they do look at home on a Corrado.
