You can run some Cragers or something air cooled. Some BRMs or Raders would look nice on a MK1. Teddy bears are obnoxious.

BRM



Rader



You'd need 4x100 to 5x205 adapters to run them. Oldskoolvw.com has them. You could also look into other aircooled wheels.

Can't say I've ever seen Vega GT wheels, but why 13's? You obviously haven't seen the MK1 wheel chart.  ;D

Japan had some great stuff in the 80s, even the stock wheels of their budget sports cars are good. Sakuras could be neat and are being reproduced it seems. SSR mk3's would look fantastic as well.  No idea what the offset difference is and since I think they're 4x114.3 or something weird like that they may not work.
