Hey Skodies,

So, following on from this topic:

and then this one:

I found myself purchasing some excellent condition Gemini alloys! The Teron's were great, can't fault them at all but I just got a bit bored and was always lusting after some Neptunes but never found any decent ones.

So I've fitted the Gemini's ( also my star sign ) and I'm pretty happy with the look I think...

However, I think I now need:

Spacers

Lowering

Matching anthracite bolt caps

And maybe a new RARB that everyone harps on about as the best mod

Plus about a million other things but money tree isn't growing so well!

Took some pictures, in dusk, on my cruddy iPhone but hopefully gives a good perspective...

Sorry there's quite a lot of repetitive photos Let me know thoughts on the wheels and any opinions on spacers/lowering etc as tbh I'm completely clueless in that area!

Cheers

My mates have said...

'You can't polish a turd' and

'It looks a bit "try hard" silly' and

'Aren't your boy racer days over & done now?'

...Oh dear :'(

Looks mega on them, fitment is better than what they were on mine! Just a set of lowering springs maybe a 20mm drop would do the trick.

Gutted to have sold the as there pretty much brand new

I think they look great!

I have been after some Turinis for ages but these look awesome and may be a better look for my vrs estate!

I have the same wheels on my FL Octavia

 

Looks so much nicer and your mates have no taste

As above, the car looks ace - suggest tell you mates to take a hike, oh and get it to sit a little lower if you can

Ha cheers guys, yer I'll tell my mates in their 1.8 Vauxhall Insignia LX & Fiat Panda 100hp to do one!

Eddie-NL...pictures?!

Yer I really like the Turini's too, saw a white Mk3 vRS estate with black Turini's, looked really smart but I think they are like rocking horse poop!

TGaz, thanks buddy Yer they fit really well, I took my time fitting so they are still spotless! Really happy with them, thanks for travelling to meet me and honest description. Hope you get your spacers fitted and post some pics of your Xtremes soon....! Your car was epic

Rob, where do I start with springs and RARB...?! Do you guys think I need spacers then or not?

Really want some FL rear lights and MK3 Skoda/vRS badges, plus my grille still needs replacing... http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/366811-help-smashed-grille-bloody-pigeon/

I've picked the spacers up so will have them fitted within the next 24hours and pics will be posted!

No worries meeting you I'm glad your happy with them, to be fair you would be hard pushed to find a cleaner set of wheels for sale than them though!

Ha cheers guys, yer I'll tell my mates in their 1.8 Vauxhall Insignia LX & Fiat Panda 100hp to do one!

B12 kit, or H&R-50mm springs (lowers a vrs about 35mm) with b8 dampers, H&R rear anti roll bar would be a great start
