RE: Wheel size revisited

[Greg Baxter <gbaxter@istar.ca>]

OK, perhaps this is the wrong forum for this, but I have a chance to pick 
up some wheels from a 91 Corrado, at whit I think to be a decent price. I 
called the number in the ad, but got the guy's wife, who did the 'don't ask 
me, I'm just a girl' routine with me, and said that her husband wouldn't be 
back until after Christmas.

I'm wondering - which different wheels could these be. Obviously, I'm 
hoping for the BBS rims, but don't want to get my hopes up too much. Does 
anyone know, off hand, which different wheels were available on the 91 
Corrado? I'm just dying to get the stock 175/70-13s off!

BTW, the price is $440 CDN ($300USD)  with 195/50-15 Conti Sport Contacts 
(dunno how they are... probably the original tires, but as long as they get 
me through the spring... although, it IS snowing outside - didn't someone 
say something about El Nino supposed to be affecting us?!?)

Shawn - I thought that Peter Wu's article was crap too. I guess he 'felt' 
the HP increase, kinda like he 'felt' the power increase with the wires he 
put on. (I still can't get over the 'same speed/lower revs' crap he tried 
to snow us with...)

Thanks in advance guys, best of the season, yadda yadda yadda...

We are still talking about G60 wheels right?

They are 15X6 I believe, but might be 15X6.5 (don't think so).

Any ways,  I had them on my Scirocco with 195 50 15 Yokohamas.
I did not have any problems, did not rub on the rear at all, but the
front would rub a little, on the fender,  if I was making a sharp turn
and hit a quite large bump, or hole.
My car is lowered and pretty darn stiff.
