Sorted it, new wheels on today. For you number lovers, they are 8x18" sitting on 215/35/18. They do not catch, the ride is still good, and the speedo is now the same as my sat nav.

Wow, looks great! Reminds me of those little Hot Wheels toy cars! They look huuuge on the Fab.

Have to say those wheels are well smart. Got to get me some of those !!

:orb_not_w

Very nice, really suit the car.

JD

sex on wheels!!

sick... :eek: :eek:

sick... :eek: :eek:

Thanks for the comments so far guys. I'm still in a blown away state myself. Can't quite believe what it looks like.

Is "sick" good or bad???

They look the badgers nadgers!

oh and i think 'sick' is a good word these days

How do they handle though?

Have to say they look very good matey. Just one comment though, you change your alloys more often than I change my underwear!! (or so the saying goes that is)

now theyreally look good mate, good choice

lookin good nice and big, but not oversized

Awesome mate, told ya didnt I

Sick is an American phrase...

And your car looks hot dude. Looks like the 18s fit easy. You dropped your car right?

those are spot on

They look mental mate

Got any plans to put Skoda centre caps on them?

And whats the ride like?

Quality choice though, love em!

Nice design - not sure if I go for the mirror finish, and agree some Skoda caps would be good.

Good call Dave - they look huge on the Fabia

Oh and by the way, I'm not having this set if you decide in a week you don't like them

Nice! Where can I get a set for the hearse?

Very nice Shifty . Agree that the wheels look huge filling out those arches!! :eek:

Were the wheels heavy by comparison to old wheels? I assume you weren't sad enough to weigh them!! Have you noticed if they make the car slower?

Do the tyres look stretched on 8" width rims?

I know, lots of stupid questions cause I want 18's now

Looks good to me Dave I'll have a proper look at Anglesey on sunday.

Too big for my taste,fabia on steroids

Must be heavier i suppose, but not wieghed them. The car is no slower, or doesnt seem to be.

Tyres do look stretched, but I can live with that.

You wanna see it in the flesh mate Its so nice.

This car is something else. The looks are only a part of it.........! As Dave kindly showed me :eek:

Commendable!

The absolute dogs danglies! (and one of the few fabias hardcore enough to brave 18 inches!!)

You made the right choice to get rid of the old wheels!
