aftermarket wheels thread

[rob_e]

Guys, i'm not bothered if there are winters or summers on this thread - i just wanted to get all the "non OEM" wheels up on one thread.  Maybe the mods might consider making this a sticky?

 

 

Found one more this morning via Pinterest:

 

 

 

Wheel brand/name:   BBS CH-R

Size: (guessing) 19 x 8.5

ET: 40

Tyre:  ?

Any other mods, e.g. springs, coilovers etc:  ?  

Weight:  c.10.9kg

 

Looks spookily like a photoshop i did some time back..:

Look like vmr v710s. Same sort of weight per rim too!

hello very interesting topic. You could also put as are relative to the body if left inside flap flush or protruding from the body.

I asked in another thread, but no one answered.

Would 8.5" rims with et45 offset with 235/40/18 tyres for the Octavia without scrubbing?

I don't see why not.   OE tyre size for 18" rims on a vRS would be a 225/ 40 rather than 235 but it isn't that much different.  At stock height i think you'd be fine.  Serveral good calculators on the web that help answer these sort of questions:

I'm running 225/40 R18's on 3SDM 8.5" ET42 rims with H&R 28833-2 -40mm lowering springs without any issue, so 235/40 R18's only equate to a 5mm per side (tread width) difference and you'll have sufficient tyre stretch on the 8.5" rims to 'shape' the side profile more suitably to the arch in any case. Also, your increase in circumference is a very negligible 24.13mm (1.26%) - so you'll be absolutely fine on standard suspension and shouldn't encounter any problems even if you fit lowering springs.

I like the look of those wheels, but jeessshhh, I'm not keen on how much that car has been lowered (the very large size rims probably addsto my dislike).  it looks like the springs have snapped and its slumped down on the stops.

Agreed. From day one I've said I dislike this current phase of styling.

19" Rays Supreme ES........not sure if they're still doing them though

I know it's a Mk2, but they'd look equally good a Mk3

Looking into the Momo Matt Quantum Anthracite 18" for a winter set:

Can't find a photo of them mounted on a vRS though.

 

Any thoughts on Momo wheels?

[neiln]

Those look smart but it does help to decide if you can see them on the car first. Should be fairly practical for winter, grey won't show the dirt too badly and the design looks easy to clean.

It probably IS on the bump stops.  I don't know the specific setup of that car but i'd guess its on air, so it'll only be that height when parked up.  Tbh i don't like cars that low either, just want to have a good wheel thread on here
