I put Bridgestone RE050A's on my Mk2's 11 spokes - they seem to have an adequate rim protector (so far).
Makes me wonder what wheels the original poster has though - Mk1, Mk2 or completely non-standard?
16" hairpins are dead cheap, and there's so much sidewall on their tyres that you really have to clobber a kerb to do any damage to them.
But then Mk1 17" straights are pretty cheap too, look nicer and if you put tyres with a decent rim protector on them you should get the best out of the suspension.
