Looks sweet on those rims .

This is my skoda superb. im now waiting for lowering springs.

Two words :-

Shiny, shiny, shiny

and

Bling !!!!

OP's look fantastic - IMHO these look a bit cheesy and would be more at home on a 300C

hey there!

sorry for my late answer, i was a little bit busy.

i have only found one photo of my car, where you can see the rims a better, but it was also shot in a little angle. i would make a better one, but i´m in norway for the next two weeks and my car is at home in germany, because it is to low for the streets in this country

Sorry for crappy iPhone photo, test fitting 19" VMR on my Superb. Lowerd 40mm.

They look amazing and it's something I'd love to do but I can't even keep the 16" steel rims straight with the road we have in Kerry.

Is Baker21 your son/nephew by any chance, wait until he sees this, cheque books will be twitching.

Anyone in the Uk lowered one yet, I'd like to drop mine when I get it, only an inch or so just to balance the look. Has anyone bought a set of springs in the Uk? I'm guessing they'll be Passat springs but how would they cope weight wise?

Eibach do a set for the Superb combi, (part No. E10-79-007-01-22) which lower the car by 30mm.

That looks great,

Just taken delivery of mine and it spoof needs to come down off it's high horse. The 30mm hobbies above look the go.

I'm also going to swap out the Luxons I have as I hate them!

Wanted lunas but wouldn't supply them. Need to find a nice 18-19" 5/6 spike alloy.

Looks nice, but it is crap, since it makes the superb completely unusable for its purpose (to carry a lot of stuff comfortably across long distances).

First: there will be no comfort left, because when there is more than a centimeter of up-movement of a front or back wheel, the tyre will touch the wheel arches.

Second: The rims are much too wide and there is too less rubber left around it. Every time you will hit a pothole or a steep bump in the road (I know what the roads looked like after last winter!) you will destroy a tyre and a rim. I won't even talk about kerbs....

Third: As soon as you load over 100 grams into the boot, the rear tyres will hit the wheel arches.

Final thoughts: I really do not understand why people spend so much money to make a practical, usable car into something completely impractical. :(

New 8,5x19" rims fitted, 40mm H&R lowering springs, chrome/black grill from the China version of Superb.

What is offset of your wheels ? and what tire size you have ? looks really cool when lowered

Another think do you have any issues with tires touching arch ?

A valid argument but flawed.

I used to be the proud owner of a E39 M5, stock it came with 18's and i upgraded them (or should i say downgraded!) to 19'' bbs LM2 reps.

Now you would assume that would make the car ride like a POS, but it was actually more comfortable than the stock setup, potholes weren't a problem and i even moved house with a plasma tv on the backseat without any issues of bottoming out!.

I guess it comes down to the shocks used?

Nope, no problem at all

i had some little issues on the rear axle to get the wheels clear, but only some plastic was cutted out, no metal work at all.

i've made my grille black with matte black foil, i think now it looks more agressive and it fits perfect to the wheels and lowering.

lovely looking motor you have there...

@ 2fast4u

Front is pretty cool! 100 times better than these bling bling radiator grills from China-Superb :-)

+1

Did you foil that grill yourself or professionally? Great job
