ET55 offset doesn't really lend itself to deep dished alloys as the hub face is 55mm outboard of the wheel centerline

Even dropping down to ET35 (accepted maximum change) which will start limiting your tyre choice to the standard 195/40/17 with minimal lowering isn't much better.

Ollie133cup has gone for even less offset but a narrower stretched tyre means the tread isn't too far out
 
You will have to go to a low offset of about ET15-20 to get a decent dished wheel, but 15" would be better as 16" ET35 rub on my GT although it is quite low

But GT's are a lower offset already ;) Different rear brakes and front suspension put the hub faces further out on a 133. The higher offset makes this extra width less than it would be if we had GT wheels as standard

Its only the front that rubs, rears are fine with 25mm spacers too lol
Spacers or not, yours (GT) is different to the OP's 133. Yeah, they are both Twingos but different suspension and different arches hence different offsets

Compomotive loveliness without a dish. I wish I had gone for these instead of the 2118's

Prefer the 2118s to those you posted, I don't think they would suit your dini as well, but its not like you'll be able to change the wheels anytime soon :p

Yeah but the work that's going into your car is just phenomenal and will be worth the wait.

I've been looking at the KTR evo corse alloys as well as the 2118s, what wheels do the R2 twingos use?

i also wanted deep dish wheels but is hardly possible with a twingo cause rolling the arches in a RS is going to snap them off and i wouldnt dare go wider then 7" i tried 7.5" rims and i measured they will hit your side arches unless you go haywire with loads of camber ....
