My new wheels 19's Pics...

[Zuhayb]

Headed over down to Ilford today to collect these Speedlines 19's wheels, just got back! A quick pics of the wheels, will post better pics tomorrow  Never been fitted since they've been refurbed. Bought them at a bargain price, so chuffed with that

[Zuhayb]

On this

 

[SNH]

My mate brought some of these in need of a furb. Gave £100 for them the jammy git, as the lad that had them obviously didn't know what they where!

[mikejay]

is it lowered already?

[Zuhayb]

Not yet, but have bought AP Coilovers from a member on this forum. Will be fitted hopefully soon, will post pics once all fitted. These wheels are all straight, all been refurbed, came off Audi A5 Coupe 13' plate. 

[Wardy]

Have seen these on an Octy2 before and they work really well - especially combined with coilovers.

Good job

[Stormchaser]

Very nice indeed but will be a pain keeping them clean.

Thanks guys,

 

Yep they are 8.5J 19" ET33 It's a pain washing a black car, the wheels will take the mick doinh a general clean. 

[flat-eric]

JaVa^ are you local to Bedford area?

[Ali_cat]

Those wheels are gonna be pretty flush to the arch. Might have to get some 215's and some camber to get under the skinny arches on the octy

Genuine Speedline´s with that ET are 9" wide. 8,5" wide are ET43 or ET48. Some other variants are also available but never seen 8,5" and ET33 combination. They could be hybrids though, but don't know how the ET would be when combining outer rim from 8,5" ET43 rim and center from 9" ET33 rim...

Nope. I'm from Finland, as you can tell from my poor spelling.

Those tyres do not have sufficient load rating for 1Z Octavia.

[Zuhayb]

Theres another Octy with Speedlines somewhere in Europe, looks subtle and it's not too lowered.

Thats the look I want on my Octy.

Here's mine:

 

 

9x19" ET41...

[Zuhayb]

I'm liking that a lot, any side and close up pics?

[JaVa^]

Front:

 

 

Rear:

 

 

Note that in the last picture there is 235/35R19 mounted on the rim. Had to change it to 225/35R19 to avoid rubbing.

 

Can't find any side pics worthy of publish...

Hi JaVa,

I was just wondering what year your car is a s you have Pre FL headlights and from what I can make out an FL VRS front bumper, am I correct? If so how did you retrofit that and how straightforward was it? Me likey :-P

Did you spot the FL bonnet as well Billy? I believe there's a few lines in a post about this somewhere on here suggesting it was a lot of work.

[adamal]

It does look very nice in my opinion too.

[zacherynuk]

You must have very nice roads where you live...

[Lewwy]

That conversion looks great !

My car is 2008 Pre-FL.

 

For retrofit you need:

 

Bumper, grills, DRL's, fog lights, headlight washers, plastic supports inside the bumper that the DRL's and foglights are attached to. You then also have to built the wiring for the DRL's (and if you wan't to make it perfect, you also have to change the BCM). I did not change the BCM so i connected the DRL's to foglight wiring with some resistors and coded the foglights to work as DRL's with VCDS. Then i wired and relayed the fog lights separately and installed an hidden switch for them in the cabin. And on top of that, you need new grill and it's surroundings to the bonnet. You don't have to change the bonnet.

 

You have to heavily modify the bumper corners with plastic welding.

I have to travel on gravel roads every day and there are alot pot holes in the tarmac roads here also, specially in the spring. Don't know how bad the roads are in your area though. :think:

Good work.  Sounds a lot of effort but the look is fantastic.
