Is it a dealer demo Syd, or yours proper?

Is the Fabia Mk2 5x112 then? For some reason I thought they were still using 5x100.

What about the 18" wheels from the Roomster, think I read somewhere else on here someone had got those

They look the dogs!

I'd have some but I already have 16" (They look much smaller) and the ride is already on the Audi side (Firm).

I could put on my Kentaurs and take a picture or two of my car next week if that would help you?

Enjoy "your" new Fabia!

Hi youngsyd,

Here is a link with a Fabia on steroid.... sorry 18" wheels. According to the owner the ridecomfort is OK but off course on the firm side. Most important there are no problems with clearence or scrubbing against the body.

Skoda Fabia 2 ** Sport ** - Bilgalleri.dk - Danmarks strste bilgalleri

It is 7.5x18 , ET48

Hope it helps you.


Bgds Dan

Here is what mine looks like with the summer wheels on

Not the most exotic wheels on the market, but I like them!

Enjoy!
