17" konig e-racers with 205/40 proud proud owner.... set me back £670 were £850 (all in) lemme know what your honest opinion is of them

simon · 06-10-2005, 14:43

Nice wheels!

Car needs to be plenty lower now though!

Black rims always seem to make the car look like its riding high!

***ncarring*** · 06-10-2005, 14:46

Not my cup of tea, sorry.

DangerMouse · 06-10-2005, 14:47

Honest opinion? Don't like it at all I'm afraid... Each to their own though - as long as you're happy thats the important thing!

EddyH · 06-10-2005, 14:52

Not doing it for me, sorry.

class37 · 06-10-2005, 14:54

sorry no way !!!

flatfourburble · 06-10-2005, 14:56

not my cuppa either but then no-one likes my alloys lol

If your happy with them, then that's all that matters me old mucker

Andy vRS · 06-10-2005, 14:56

I don't like them - but I would prefer them to be a lighter shade - anthracite colour - them lowered.

ScoobyChris · 06-10-2005, 14:56

Not my cup of tea either, although I'm thinking they probably look better in the flesh! Car definitely needs lowering now though - that's a huge gap between tyre and arch

Shifty · 06-10-2005, 14:57

Honestly.....sorry, don't like them.

But it's your car, and if you like them, thats all that matters

spinndrift · 06-10-2005, 15:00

Not my cup tea either.

I think the silver edge to them make it look like they've been nicked off the Flying Scotsman.

devonutopia · 06-10-2005, 15:01

Don't mind the wheels but WHY does it look so high? Looks not too dissimilar to how my old TDI looked on 17s with regular suspension? Yours looks like it could drop 75mm and still be high enough.

Jon TDI · 06-10-2005, 15:02

Honest opinion - don't like 'em.

mcbunny · 06-10-2005, 15:10

really dont like them at all on the red car maybe on a black one not so bad but it needs lowering by a hell of a lot !!!!

lozgti · 06-10-2005, 15:22

Amazing how many people drink tea on here! Not my cup of tea either I'm afraid.

I can't talk though,I like white wheels

bananaman · 06-10-2005, 15:24

loving the positive response

hehhe yeh i like them.. gonna dropem sooner or later i think 30-40 mm will do

Shifty · 06-10-2005, 15:31

if you give the tyres a wash and then dress them, maybe it would look better in a picture. i think the tyre goo is having a negative effect on the look....

Burnsy · 06-10-2005, 15:35

Sorry m8 Roller skate springs to mind

faboka vrs · 06-10-2005, 15:35

Not my cup of tea either.

Must be getting old as I think the std 16 are just fine. Just wrap them in better rubber.
