After Market Alloys (vRS)

Petey099 · 29-11-2007, 22:59

Has anyone replaced their stock alloys with aftermarket? If so got any pics? Im considering doing it myself

Wardy · 29-11-2007, 23:05

Another excuse to use this pic:

I know what I'll be tracking down if I ever buy an Octy2 vRS

They're BBS CHs by the way - 18s or 19s I believe....

Another excuse for mine to be shown;-

and here is a close-up of one on my dealer's demo;-

They are not perhaps truly 'after market' but do not come from the Factory as an original option.

They are dealer fit B14 style 18" x 8J @ £175 each. Same size as the OEM Zeniths but 0.5J wider that just spays the tyre a bit to IMHO sharpen the handling a touch.

They're 19's, and I love 'em too

flynntech · 30-11-2007, 12:12

This was mine on 18" BBS VZ033, same as CH without the motorsport.

Put back on the OE 18" zeniths as I felt they suited the car better.

Wardy · 30-11-2007, 12:42

Fair play, but think they look stunning personally!

True - but badly needs lowering though...as the first pic in this thread shows.

Petey099 · 01-12-2007, 15:05

Agreed. I didnt want to go lowering the car due to the shocking state of some of the roads around here. I felt the 18" Zeniths suited the car better on the standard suspension.

Petteri · 02-12-2007, 07:49

Here's my vRS TDi with Mito KX 18" whitch i'm replacing for next summer.

Jonno VRs · 02-12-2007, 15:36

What about the new Audi RS4s? There is a pic somewhere with a VRs with those on.

Harry_vRS · 02-12-2007, 17:44

When my time comes it will be Audi R8s for me.

can't do it as an image as file/picture is too big.

Found a few more non-std alloys on the net which might be of interest (just scroll down the pages on these links). I particularly like the Audi RS4 style...

And a bit off topic, I also found this back-to-back test video between a TFSI and TDI vRS. Not in English, but I get the impression they preferred petrol!

Good few links there

Do like the RS4s on it

- the old style RS6 design suits too, I think. But the R8 wheel is too 'open', IMO.

Yea and they are £5 per wheel less than when I bought them earlier this year.

VRS L'POOL · 05-12-2007, 19:55

Thought these would look nice on a black one.

Ebay 18" £639 with tyres. BARGAIN!

my bad!
cheers.

Babs · 06-12-2007, 18:55

they'd look alright

rs_t · 06-12-2007, 19:55

19" are perfect for the Octavia, and the gunmetal RS4 II are just spot on

westyRS · 06-12-2007, 20:02

The RS4's really suit the octy above
