Picked my Xtreme alloys up :) :)

[Robfab]

Well today I picked up my 19" Xtreme Alloy Wheels for my Octavia vRS estate which I have on order and expect in the next 4 weeks.

Got them for a bit cheaper through shopping around.

Here they are:

Iv also ordered four contisportcontact 5's for them .

Thats along the lines I'm thinking

[Robfab]

hello bling

If i was worried about that i wouldn't of bought them

[devonutopia]

I am not a huge fan of them but I shall reserve true judgement until I see them on the car.  Perhaps its because I am not much of a fan of bling blng wheels on V.A.G machinery?

 

Hope my judgement will be swayed come fitting time.

[Robfab]

I wouldnt say there bling bling as i dont like bling bling there just diamond cut like majority of cars nowadays.

Obviously personal opinion but i dont like been same as everyone also (although did buy white car ha)

I'm pretty sure he ment what weight are the wheels!

Yes I'm sure he did,

i don't see how it matters what weight they are, they are going on a large car that weighs 1350kg+ maybe 1400kg.

[LadyVienna]

Niiiiiiiiiiice!

[Rob_Quads]

The weight of the wheels can make a huge difference. Its not just a case of its only 60kg of 1350 its the fact its unsprung weight.

I cant see them weighing 15kg per corner extra over 18's. i understand about unsprung weight, if i was going to be sending it flying round a track, its a car to get me to work and to different places, to add to that its a diesel estate car.

Some people have very funny mentalities when it comes to finding reason not to like something

[gadgetman]

I'm in 2 minds. They remind me of the VXR alloys

[jbconno]

I like them, I take delivery of my new Mazda 6 Sport company car next week and thats also got 19's. I would be concerned about kerbs and potholes if it were my own car though.

[Lee Thomas]

Mmmmmmm, shiny and nice, like them!

[D@z]

would you mind popping one on the scales? would be interesting to see how much one weighs!

[TudorM]

Chill pill is in order...

 

I was curious about their weight. I made no mention of Elises, tracks, racing, liking or disliking the wheels...

Don't need a chill pill I'm chilled, just don't see the relevance your very random question

[Robfab]

From lifting them id say 12kg ish, you can curl them if that helps.

[Zillio]

Shame these only come in 19 inch, I like the design but am concerned with the ride quality you will have to tell us how you get on with them.
