  1. for the 3 guys who posted pics. all 3 look nice on the setups you have. can I just ask when you hit a big bump ect do the rear wheels clear the arch as in go up inside the arch without hitting. I have actually put of buying my wheels just for now as my work situation has changed slightly but I will be getting back to this lol. the wheels I WILL get at some point soon are Bola B1. bit different from the normal euro look. cant post a pic of them I take it you need photobucket or something like that.?
  2. looks very nice. does not stick out as far as I thought it would. Are you having to run any camber ect to clear the arches on the coilovers? I will prob run my 225-40-18s until I can afford maybe a slightly wider tyre on the rear. nice motor
  3. Any photos? And also do you have any problems with rubbing on the rear. What tyres are you using on rears
  4. Yours do look like a tight enough fit. Are the spacers to clear the strut or just to get it sitting where you want it. Have you any photos of just the rear wheel arch to show how it sits?
  5. if they don't fit he wont get the money until I have wheels that do fit. lol. seems to be photos of some running 9.5 on rear. some look ok and some look like they poke out a mile. must be offset
  6. funny you should say that but my partner and I bought a brand new fabia 1.2 se there few months back and guess what it states that the clutch release bearing is not covered under warranty lol. I think I should push this one quickly on my car as I have only had it over a week. looks better.
  7. the guy that selling me them is from a big wheel company that sells thousands of alloys so I hope he knows what he is talking about or I will have to tell him to send 9.5 back and order more 8.5s for rear. but I don't want to have to stick on any silly camber ect. the only reason I thought he was making sense was the rears do look like they sit in a good bit.
  8. car is dirty at the min will give it a wash at the weekend and get a few photos for you or if you are floating about Belfast I could meet you somewhere. cant get rid of them till I get new ones tho.
  9. I was talking to wheel place today and he said that 18x8.5 on front and 18x9.5 on the rear will be dead on. He also told me my tyres 225-40-18 will fit on to them. Any advice on this from anyone. 2009 fl estate.
  10. Is it a common thing on these may as well try to get it done on warranty as I just bought the car.
  11. Only noticed this a couple of times. When car is warm and I am sitting in traffic. When letting clutch out to move off I get a moan or droan noise from gearbox. No other symptoms and all is still smooth otherwise. Only from standing start. Was thinking maybe noisy release bearing or something. May take it to skoda see if they can fix it under warranty. Car is 09 vrs octavia fl.
  12. All purpose cleaner? Any examples. Is there automotive stuff or are you just talking about any all purpose cleaner.
  13. Yea I was thinking about 200 to 250. Not sure about the demand for standard wheels tho. Need to do some homework as to fitments. Guy that I looking new wheels off saying 8.5x18 front and 9.5x18 rear and use the tyres off my standard rims. Is that not a stretch on the rears or is that normal. Not a big wheel tech guy as you can prob tell. Lol.
  14. Been looking at new wheels for my fl vrs estate but was wondering could I sell the original alloys. Good condition as I think they recently refurbished. But how much would they be worth with no tyres. Will try post a pic tomorrow if I get a chance. I understand this is not the for sale section but as yet they are not for sale as I don't have any replacements lol.
