I have a 1974 2.0 with hub-centric (front) OEM steel wheels and want to swap to Fuch style alloy wheels to use for track days and autocross.
The more I look at aftermarket wheels the more confusing it gets, so I am looking for real-world suggestions. I am sure this subject has been beaten to death on this forum, but using the search feature has gotten me nowhere. What are you using? |

15x6 is a good safe bet all around. 15x7 for some narrow cars may not work in the rear but usually is fine. 205 is the widest you should go really in terms of tire width
