Not sure if this has been asked for already but is there any posts of photos of Fabia vRS with 17" wheels fitted and possibly lowered a little. Especially interested in Fabias with VAG alloy wheels.

If theres no post so far then caould anyone with 17's post some pics on here !

Cheers !

Team Dymamics Pro Race 1.2's Sorry pics a bit naff will be posting some better ones when I get my lower springs on and the Octavia front brakes.
These are a cheaper option than Octavia wheels and look just as good if not better.

In the words of Roy Walker

'Nice wheels'

I love the number plate sparkey

what kind of performance/economy difference did you see when you swapped your wheels to 17s?

Quite accurate though.

17" LCR rims

17" TT comp rims

Both with the Eibachs fitted.

alexst · 09-08-2005, 20:12

I only have the alloys, not lowered but definately feels more solid and bit better in the corners too, looks the best bit though!! Should come as standard...

msoames21 · 09-08-2005, 23:53

Ah, just read this thread! I've finally put 17" alloys on mine, I was shocked to find that they just fit! No rubbing or catching they just fit!!!!! Pics soon!!!

Matt

P.S. Sorry i've been gone so long!

Good question.

There's no difference.

Has anyone got pics of a Fabia with the Audi RS4 / RS6 / RS8 alloys ?

The ones which have 9 flat sort of spokes, often seen on Golfs as well and also the 5 spoke wheels too.

Any pics greatly appreciated !

Cheers !
David

waynef · 12-08-2005, 13:36

Is it wrong to admit that all these photo's are giving me a stiffy? Thought so

Especially...

Top marks there Antony

Here's one a fabricated in Photoshop ages and ages ago to show a lowering job on 17" Octavia wheels...

Is this thread porn I ask myself?

Harry_vRS · 12-08-2005, 17:08

Those Octavia 17" wheels look the business, they really should be standard on the fabia v/rs.

Shame about the Saxo **** in the picture, spoils it a bit.

Sounds very like what Im planning but cant decide on which wheels !!!

Its between:

17" RS4's
17" RS6's
17" Octavi vRS
17" Audi S3's

Hopefully some whizz from here can play around with photoshop and let us see a Fabia with the various wheels !! Hint, hint !!!
