Skoda fabia vrs wheels


Recommended Posts

It rides better than before but this may be down to the tyres.

Tyres are often overlooked with these upgrades.

The missus' Mitsubishi rode horribly on standard 16" rims.

When it was time to replace them, I bought some new 17" wheels as it was cheaper to do that than have the stock alloys refurbished and, well, the ride couldn't get any worse, could it?

However, with 17" and new Avon ZZ5 40 profile tyres it rides a lot better than it did on the stock 16" with old mixed 45 profile tyres

Something doesn't look right about these, where the spokes meet the outer rim, at least compared to MRBurdon123's wheels. Fakes or a different model of OZ wheel?

EDIT: On a second inspection, MRBurdon123's have 16 spokes, and the others have 15 spokes. Also, the finish doesn't look as smooth and consistent, so I'm guessing, at the least, they've been resprayed.
