set of 13" superlites going on vagdrivers at the moment, around the €350 mark. mega wide though, might be overkill.

what about Padraig's Wolfraces?

only thing to check though is if 13" wheels will clear your calipers...

not quite as old-school as most but I have a set of mk2 golf Pirelli P-slots if you're not after dish...

oh, I don't think it's as easy as redrilling disks on the watercooled stuff, they have separate hubs and the disks are fitted over the top, similar to the rear of a type3 or bay window hubs. Most guys use adapters for different stud patterns. I'd say Ebay would be your friend for adapters.

there's also a set of Ronal Turbos for sale on vagdrivers. Not exactly old-school but definitely a sweet wheel...

Thanks for the mention Trev. I've these, 13" Wolfrace's, tyres would need replacing as they're probably over 15 years old now. €100 and they're yours...
