Hello,


   Now is the time!

   definently upgrade, the gain in handling alone is worth the $$
with alot of guys on this list running 17" , one wonders how 13"
can still be in existence!
14 in, in my opinion is the min wheel size for a nice handling car such as the Scirocco.

it is too bad the early 'rocco didn't get the performance stuff that the Euro cars did,

:I just purchased my first Scirocco (MK1) a few weeks ago and I need new
:tires, but before I go with some standard 175/70R/13 I thought I would ask
:the list for an opinion.
:
:I know I guy who wants to sell his 14 inch rims from a 1984 GTI.
:Does it make good sense to go ahead with the 13 inch to 14 inch ugrade?
:I could put a lower profile tire on say a 185/60R/14.
:
:Are these  '84 GTI rims  "hub-centric" Does it matter?
:
:And lastly can someone fill me in on the  mm off-set issue? What is it
:good fer?
:
:Thanks!
:David Guido
:1980 Scirocco
