Hi everyone,
I am a new member to the list. I have had my Group A for 17 years and would like to update it in the looks dept. I am keen to fit 18 or 19" wheels and wonder if anyone can tell me the make of the wheels EVLVL had on before he changed to the 19" GTS wheels?
Thanks.

Are these the ones your talking about? They're HP Design EVO 19x8.5 38p offset and 225/35R19 all round
I wouldn't suggest you go for a rim with these specs on a genuine car as there was quite a lot of suspension and guard work to make them fit nicely
Something like a 19x8 40p offset with 235/35R19s would be better
The best aftermarket rims for genuine Walkys are Simmons FR18 in my opinion, they look super tough and keep a similar to factory look

Yes, these are the wheels I was talking about, the look fantastic. I appreciate your advice on the size to fit, last thing I need is to get wheels I then need to make endless more modifications.
I agree about the Simmons wheels, but from what I can gather the company is in the midst of changing hands and obtaining wheels seems incredibly difficult.
Thanks once again.

A big part of the look is the fact that the car is super low, and it was pretty hard to live with at that level
Have a look around for second hand Simmons, they come up on here or calaisturbo.com.au from time to time
