)

Bloody hell, that includes (crappy cheapo) tyres as well!

Nigel26 · 01-07-2004, 15:08

would the 19's go on the octy ??

arent the 19's 9 inches wide or something like that ??

do like the RS6 look rims on the octy though.

dsmithmobile · 01-07-2004, 15:26

I think there could be an issue with clearance if they are 9x19 but you could possibly get them on if you can get a 8x19 and use 215/35/19 tires but i suppose it depends on the offset,i have just had a set of fox rs5 alloys fitted but i think they used a 7x19 rim with a 225/35/19 tyre to avoid fouling but they dont catch on full lock or when you have 4 passengers so go for it they will look sweet

Joel_vRS · 01-07-2004, 16:32

i have a 'BIG GRINDER' at home he will remove any offending bits of arch that catch

£735 is for the 18", dont really care about make of tire as long only the price..

thats where i had seen the 19" £995, they have a page on ebay ..

The RS6 19's are 8 wide so should go straight on - I have the 18" RS6's and I luv 'em, very easy to clean too!

funkyjutel · 03-07-2004, 18:25

Yep, I have. I bought my 18's from Rochford tyres with TOYO Proxes. As far as I know the wheels are made by Wolfrace and the overall quality is very good. However, all is not rosy. The alloy is too soft in my opinion and very easily marked. Now I don't mean rubbing the rim down a kerb which would obviously cause damage but I have noticed especially on one of the rear wheels that there is noticeable stone chip type damage in only a couple of thousand miles use.... The dogs danglies look far outweighs the negatives IMO

Witchfinder · 05-07-2004, 13:30

It seems crazy that I could sell my old wheels and use the money to buy a set of bigger wheels and have new tyres for around the same price as a set of tyres for my 17s. Am I missing something here?

Nigel26 · 05-07-2004, 14:01

alot of people do change the wheels for a package when it comes to changing the tyres.. i hope to use that very excuse when new tyres time comes

you could try 225 45 r17 tyres though, these are alot cheaper than the 205 50 r17's fitted as standard.

I've been weighing it up and it'll cost me the best part of 450 notes if I get a set of Michelin PS2s with 225/45 R17 profile.

If I sell my old wheels (say for £350-400) and put another £450-500 into the pot, I'd have enough for 18" wheels with new rubber! Surely I'm missing something.
