my new wheels

predator · 31-10-2007, 15:44

Well i got my new wheels today and am very pleased with them

, they fill the arch's fine hated that gap

i had with the standard 16's, the news ones are rs6 alloys with 225/40/18 rubber, I think they suit the estate really well anyway what do you think of them ??

Goochie · 31-10-2007, 15:52

I think the whole car looks great!

mbames · 31-10-2007, 16:08

mmm, me wants some!

woodenspatulas · 31-10-2007, 16:11

MINTED!!

another great looking estate

KenONeill · 31-10-2007, 16:20

I think the lower springs make more of a difference compared with my Elegance.

vRS_Si · 31-10-2007, 16:26

They look great, would get some silver centre caps and wheel nut covers though

chissey · 31-10-2007, 23:42

Very nice, they suit the car well and are easy to clean

Braff · 01-11-2007, 00:56

They look great. i was just wondering what is the weight of the 18's compared to the standard 16's?

RobClubley · 01-11-2007, 07:49

Very nice indeed

DirtyVec · 01-11-2007, 10:03

Very nice mate, but I would say that as Ive the same alloys

Not sure to be honest with you but there did not seem to much difference whilst changing them over.

Tom_vRS · 02-11-2007, 19:00

Look great to me!

Lummox · 02-11-2007, 19:07

Needs lowering.

Seems an odd solution, arch gap too big, buy bigger wheels that have smaller tyres (i.e arch gap should be the same).

Looks nice though

Lummox what i meant was it does not look as bad as the 16's and believe it or not they are slightly bigger

as regards lowering i will be looking into this after xmass

octav.ed · 02-11-2007, 19:23

they look cool dude...

skud vrs · 06-11-2007, 21:05

Wheels look tidy.
Must admit I also like the brisky sticker on the door.
Is that something you made or was I purchased on the site?

greg123 · 07-11-2007, 21:28

Lovely looking car! Wheels look, well, like big wheels. Your car will now go slower in top speed, do less mpg, ride worse and have worse wet grip and straight line stability ;-) Of course no one who just shelled out 3 figures a tyre wants to hear that.....

Not that those above changes will be HUGE of course, but there all the same ;-)

Nick H · 07-11-2007, 21:51

I see your in Pompey mate,we'll have to arrange a meet on Portsdown hill one day.

olit · 09-11-2007, 09:16

What are the data on this rims - 18" height of course, but ET etc. ?

Very nice! Me want some too... :-D
