Hi Guys,

I've just got a new set of wheels for my Superb and I thought I'll get your opinion on them :-)

Aaaww..be careful with curbstones with those..looks quite vulnerable but kinda cool IMHO.

MK5 GTI alloys then.................what size are they 18's or 19's? Replicas or OEM?

I have to be honest and say that these alloys are not my favourite and only really suit the Golf judging by what people have put them on, on other forums.........are you happy with them?

I notice that you have fitted some Skoda centre caps...............

I like the wheels on the Golf, not sure they suit the Superb tho'.

Yes they're 18" GTI replicas. I must say I really like them on the SuperB - I'm probably weird :-) Centre caps were taken from the original wheels and it was straight swap.

I though that the comfort will go with low profile tyres, but I can't feel any difference.

Now I'm really paranoid about curbs :-)

I'll take some proper photos and will post them here.

Good work on the centre caps then.........

People always ask me whether the ride is a lot harsher on mine but I found the same thing as you, the profile tyre and wheel size doesn't make that much difference......

Better pics will do it justice I am sure..............

Why does that look like a photoshop effort?
