Opinions on the 19" Extreme Alloys
maqio replied to Brooksuk's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I'm made already 20K KM on the 19" Xtreme alloys and i can say that it's perfectly fine i don't feel discomfort or anything. One important thing is tire pressure on those i have Vredestain tires and on the website they recommend 3.0+ bar pressure. I did it and that was an nightmare. I'd settled at 2.4Bar for 2 person. Quick question to other owners of the 19" Xtreme on what tire pressure do you drive ? -

Ok, so here are the pics with 12/20 mm spacers installed. Not the best ones, but i didn't have time to make better ones :( -

hard to say if it's real difference OR the car feels less bouncy after, i think i need to make more KM with it. -

No tha car is not lowered, i was thinking about that but after adding the spacers it doesn't make sense. I'll make some pictures tomorrow to share the result -

Just got installed 12mm in front 20mm in back. Hub-centric h-r ofcourse. I'm totally amazed how this changes the look of the car combined with 19" xtreme wheels i totally recommend this to anyone. -

Thanks for the tips ! I'll try to find a place near Berlin. I think that would make a huge difference as you wrote in the car appearance. Every time i look at those 19" all is spoiled by the fact they are installed so deep ! -

Hi, Nookiebear could you share what do you plan to do with your wheels ? My car is wearing the 19" Xtreme alloys, and for me they still sit to deep. Cheers -

great news i got it sorted out. in case someone needs to do it on a mac this is what i did. Format the SD card, to FAT. open mac terminal, and go to the card cd /Volumes/<name_of_your_sdcard> 7z x ../path/to/archive/P88_N60S5MIBH3_EU_NT_Q3.13_Mib1.7z ## then it will extract to the card itself. Sometimes spotlight can be very annoying and put some of it's folders inside the card even if you don't open it in finder. But from terminal we can actually erase those using: rm -rf .Spotlight-V100 Update is working fine now ! -

@andyvee yeah that might be it, i'm now trying to extract using command line interface. Then MAC does not add hidden files like .Trash or .Spotlight-V100. Let me confirm this in some minutes if that is the cause. -

Hi, it's 2014 Columbus, i have a 32GB sony SD card (formatted originally with fat32) What i did is extract the archive to my MAC and then copy it to the card. -

Hi there, I downloaded the one file 7z archive, i extracted the content of the archive (including: Eggnog, NavDB, SpeechResVDE, metainfo2.txt) to an sd card. But the update always says that there's no data for update. Does anyone had a similar problem ? Cheers
