Honestly the car looks like a 76 toyota celica fastback with a BMW nose.


Anyone else se what I see?

Nice looking car. In my view the rims suit the car quite well, but the tyres let the overall look down really, really badly. I hope no-one drives it on the road as they look quite unsafe. Maybe proper sized tyres won't fit under the guards.

would look great if the wheels were 2 or 3 inches narrower.

but hats off to the tyre fitter for managing to get those tyres onto the bead. I've fitted plenty of tyres in my days and I have no idea how they managed that... must have a tube in there... still, i would have been hiding on the other side of the workshop when that lunatic was at work!

Can you imagine rocking up to Bob Jane & asking for those tyres on those rims.

As for the tyres, it must be a Japanese thing ,as I see lots of cars on Japanese sites with really wide rims but tyres that are not wide enough for them.

Here in Australia you see guys putting 235s on 6 inch rims, with the opposite effect.

It's a european thing as well :











We just can't understand the blingin' monster truck wheels you guys put on your Retro machinery :D

Here's GTO Story website.

Low res pics, but still worth a look.

OSI may want to post the url on his site.

those golfs are mad :)

i've got a photo of a Mk1 golf when i was in germany - this thing was radioactive green, about 50mm off the ground with 13x9s under it with about 3in flares all round.

it was phat, it was mean, and had audi turbo power. i was weak at the knees.

Those GTOs are getting pretty expensive over here. They are the nice Mitsubishi.

Noticed the GTO's in NZ. I wonder if they were all private imports?




This one's for sale with no asking price
