Great looking car in silver with those wheels and the black trim.

 

You're also a brave man combining the lowered Greenline suspension with those (lovely) but big 18" Sirius wheels.  I hope your local roads are nothing like mine!  

Used to have much lower cars than my current one, glad You like it.

Wish my standard 19" Extremes came in that colour/finish then would have probably kept them. Suits your car very nicely, top choice.

I was thinking at something similar. Are they replica? Because I was checking vossen... they start with 19” 

 

What is the offset for these?

I've recently finish changing my rims, rims profile are 19" 8.5J ET35 for all 4 wheels. Tyre profile is 235/35/ZR19. Just for reference.

 

 

Lovely wheels. The car looks like from the big league.

 

By the way, I know someone was asking you about rubbing, but I am just curious because I was  thinking to buy in future 19” wheels: so do you have any issues in touching with the tyres car’s chassis??? And also how much are the 19” tyres ?

No problem with 19" wheels, it won't touch your chassis if your ET profile are correct. Not even close. I've change my suspension to lower my car, and it still fine.

Recommend that your wheels ET profile LARGER than 35 to avoid pop out too much. Pop out of wheels in my country can fail the car examination which need to perform every year.

My wheels on the photo is ET35 with a little pop out but pass the examination.

I'm using Davanti 235/35/ZR19 which cost me about NT$4500 per tyre, around USD$145.

I'm considering to change to Michelin Pilot Sport4 next time, but the price will be DOUBLE!

This model is Vossen's CVT and it starts with 19", so this is replica.

19" is great, 18" looks weird....

My last wheel set.

Now looking at your wheels I realised that are a little weird, not bad, but is like a t-short with one size smaller.

 

Your new set of wheels looks awesome. Thank you so much for picture. 

 

Probably Vossen in future will be my choice.

 

 

They start with 19” 5x112, 8,5J and custom ET.

 

What do you think about 8,5J???

I'm currently using 8.5J, in my opinion it's best width for Superb.

 

If you choose Vossen you can use different width on the back wheels eg. 8.5J front and 9.5jor10j back. It will bring you a significant look of your car.

My last wheels are 8.5J on the front and 10J on the back. 

Just like the photos you post, they are all large width on the back wheels, you can realize the curve of the spoke, back wheels are much hollow than the front.

But the bad thing is you have to buy different size of tyres.

[spartaans]

@tommyhsu I didn’t know you can fit 10J on Skoda Superb mk2. But to be honest I am not looking to have that width just because I want to use the car at its full capacity, without thinking that can rubbing ...: I had this problem with my other car. This is my family car.

No rubbing problem with 10J ET55, don't worry.

Just...worry about the price of the tyre for 10J wheel.....

[spartaans]

@tommyhsu for the moment I don’t have that budget so probably I will be forced to go on OEM.

 

If is someone which sells this model - 3V0601025AL - please PM:

 

 

• The diameter of the rim:

  18 "

• Width of the rim:

  8.0 "
• Bolt spacing:

• Manufacturer of rims:

Howdy All, 

So as you can see in the photo my Superb had an argument with a bin lorry an lost last Saturday , the bin company are fixing it, néw mirror and rear door along with a paint job, have decided to get the wheels resprayed aswell so it's not the same as every other superb, any suggestions on colour welcome! 

 

Hope ye all had a nice Christmas. 

[spartaans]

@G2enn sorry for you ... no one would like something like this, but important is you/us, the car can be fixed.

 

Regarding the wheels colour I would try a gunmetal.

Hello, sorry for the late reply had a busy week, there replica ones I did not have the spare cash to get the real ones.

 

Also did not want to change from the 18"s and have to buy tyres to because there all nearly new.

 

I got them from a company in Nottingham very helpful and had plenty to choose from, also got the wheel centers fitted now to.

 

Thinking of lowering mine now, how much have you guys dropped yours buy I was thinking 30mm 

 

Mine is a 4x4 manual

Too much IMO: the wheels are no longer centered in the arches and it looks odd.

This is not my car. Was just an example of colour for alloys.

 

@Superb-pop I think you’re right - lowering the car will fit the wheels perfect. I’m planning in future to buy a set of Vossen, will see if it’s the budget.

[Superb170]

Those wheels would be a brave decision on anything but the smoothest roads!
