Recommend me some alloys for VRS ?

Featured Replies

I'm tempted with some different alloys for my MK1 VRS. I'd just like some recommendations. I would also consider going up to 17" alloys so long as I don't have to mess with the tracking and gearing.

Cheers folks. :)

Thanks, will do.

Would you think it best to stick with 16" alloys so I don't have to worry about tracking and such ?

17s will be ok

I have team dynamics pro race 1.2 in anthracite :)

Ooooo. Have they affected the car in any way ? And sorry for the double post. >_>

tracking shouldnt be effected by wheel size ... speedo may be if its not done propper though

Handling seems a little better as they're a little lighter than the standard wheels

From what I've been reading, as long as the bigger rims have the same tred width it won't be any different and nothing will need adjusting. Is this correct ?

Going up to 17" does feel slightly different,coz you've got lower profile tires,so a little harsher.

Also if ya wanna go down the 17" route it'll look like a monster truck unless its lowered slightly. .

Wow, those do look nice. Only problem is, would they look daft without lowering it ?

The black car in that thread looks like its not far from standard. . Probs -25mm springs. . They make em look how they should have come standard. .not on the huge suspension it came with XD

Personally I think Spiders look the best on a Fabia :)
