In keeping with the first post I said of go 16" mak have you considered a few brake kits that will fit behind them? Or do you already have the brakes? As has been said, in a targa scenario 18's will really only hurt your times..

Perhaps have a sus of a few track built first gens and see what they are using? As I've never seen a track orientated early girl with large rims..

F$?k sake I thought this a forum of like minded car owners not a high school pissing contest yer I ased an opinion and some said they to big and yer to some people they might be and I respect that. I personally like big wheels. But this bull **** is the main reason it's taken me 10 years to start another build I got out of custom car building years ago went back to smash repairs guts ya need to chill the f$&k out and remember if we all had same thing it be boring as bat ****

That's fair enough then I guess.. What kind of rubber can u fit on 19s for targa??

Like I said if your hell bent on one of those 3 the Simmons atleast suit the era style wise if not size wise..

where is the high school pissing contest ?
on one hand you are saying you were asking for an opinion and some people don't like big wheels and you respect that
and then go onto say we need to chill out, if we all had the same thing it would be boring ??

No-one bagged your car, we voiced our opinion about your choice of wheels upon your request
Would you prefer we just piss in your pocket and tell you what you want to hear rather than our honest opinion ?

Anyway that's my final post in this thread, Jecs made it clear what you want to hear.

Im a huge fan of 16's on a first gen but simmons up to 19's are tough i have never had a set so would be happy with them i just can not afford them :(

The ones under the guards look the 2nd best :)

I run 16x8.5" wheels all around :)
