Hi Leemo and welcome - the 106 GTi is a fantastic package. Very nippy and good on twisty tracks. Didn't top gear put it in a group test with ferraris and Lambos etc... and it came out near the top?

I've seen a pretty impressive turbo setup on the 106. I think the kit costs around £3500k though but the power gains and performance gains make up for this.

Default Re: Hey

I think a 106GTi allows 16 inch rims and the offset if 16mm. It also uses 4 studs. I'm pretty sure the 205 GTi allowed 16s as well, and it also uses 4 studs but I don't know the offset. I think 50mm is a little bit too low....do you have speed bumps any where near you?

Personally I wouldn't replicate the 205 if I had a 106... but that's just me. However, I did find this page that offers a lot of info:
