SLAM IT ¬!

As said already, love it. They look fantastic against the black. Lovely buddy!

Lowering should always be done before fitting 17s to a Fabia. That should be written in law :yes:

Wheels look nice though, a great choice. They've always suited the shape of the car down to the ground. Offset works perfectly too. Did you have them refurbed before they went on? Look to have a nice finish to them.

Looks good Now get it lower

I'll be after a set of those wheels when funds allow. Not sure of ride quality on 17s, so might have to opt for the 16s. Fabulous shine you've got on the paintwork. What have you used on it? I'm assuming it's been machine polished/buffed?

Does need lowering, as already mentioned. Only about 25mm or so though.

All in all, great looking car.

Looks lovely mate, It doesn't need to be slammed, just dropped a nice 30mm

Pfft.. ok ok.. people are so pushy :p

Im getting the springs at castle combe (saturday)..! Should get it fitted within the month.

Thanks for comments.

looks sweet!! :p

Splitty is pretty fit too!

Very nice and very clean

I don't particularly like cars being "slammed", but that ride height looks shocking

Standard ride height... I look at mine & think damm I need to spend some money on the poor thing

These are exactly what I'm after, how much am I looking at for a set of these? also what sort of cost to lower 30mm?

In the immortal words of our dear banned friend Babs...........

MOAR LOWER!!!!!!!

dam they do look nice, they looked rank with the ocy tyres on, starting to wish I didn't sell them lol

what size tyre are you running?

205/40/17's I am a few pennies down atm :(

I know how you feel! : :|

These are definitely my favourite wheels for the Fabia...

If you're looking in Ad Lav when are your rudeboys

going on the market? You said I had first dibs

Look Spot on Mate.

Can't remember seeing such a well polished black Fabia!!! 17" Octy Wheels look great.

As for all ther comments about dropping it well if you've got the right sized tyres so that they match the dimensions of the originals then what's the point. OK little less room between tyres and arches but if you want a harder ride then buy an Ibiza rather than a Fabia, the one thing I like about the Fabia is the ride quality compared to other cars. Now there may be some suspension kits out there that don't make much difference but if I were you I'd stick with the std. suspension but maybe add a rear Anti Roll Bar.

Hewey.

what's the point? the standard right height is comically **** and made worse with the lower profile tyre needed to maintain overall tyre height when going from 16 to 17 inch wheels
