Rav,
I have my original set of turbo spec D90s in the garage which you are very welcome to borrow if you want to see what they look like. Again offsets may be an issue as mine is a newer model.
And they have tyres!

*nods*

It cant tell you about backspace though, nor the different offsets by part number on similar sized wheels.

Granted, but it is a reasonable start.

Rav,
I'm out of kilter here with everyone else, (except in the thinking around the fuchs), but I think the original turbo teledials look absolutely fantastic! If you want them to look more aggressive a slightly darker shade of silver paint might work, and will contrast nicely with the bodywork.
I don't really see the need for the car to look younger than what it is. Keeping it original gives it more of an aura in my mind and helps distinguish it as a classic car.

Follow your gut instinct I'd say.

Yes, but Americans eat Grits, so obviously no sense of taste

haha...no, no you have it ALL wrong. VERY few people (with the exception of Georgians) eat grits.

Grits are terrible :(
