dream wheels for Kodiaq

[chrisluciofg]

money no object, which rims would you choose for your Kodiaq ? from any manufacturer. post pics pls

[Kenny R]

Not a fan of Carlos Fandango wheels.

I would choose these with 235x55x18 Continental all season contact tyres fitted and should come as standard or at least an option.

I can't post a link for mytyres as it doesn't work, but mytyres are usually cheaper for steel rims than oponeo.

I would keep it simple go for grey (as always get covered in grey road dirt)

17 inch with good winter tyres (as you are asking in December) or all seasons

The problem with grey / anthracite wheels is that they look dirty all year round, whether they actually are or not.

 

At least with silver they look half decent during the summer months.

 

A compromise is anthracite, but with some silver so at least they reflect some light.

 

I am biased, but one of the main attractions of the Scout were the OEM Crater's...

 

 

 

Unfortunately non-genuine wheels always look too 'Halfords' for me.

[DaveMiller]

I loathe the look of anything but thoroughly silver - black wheels especially, which make me expect a cherry-bomb exhaust sticking out of the back, and a blasting of raucous bass beat all across the street, driven by some bloke with sunglasses on on a rainy February day ...

 

Within the wide choice of silver wheels, I'd choose something sporty looking, but with not too many spokes and a minimum numbers of separately facetted surfaces, because they are then so much easier to keep clean.  

[silver1011]

My favourite look was my old Octavia vRS with all-silver wheels. They really shone...

Minus cherry-bomb exhaust sticking out of the back, and a blasting of raucous bass beat all across the street, driven by some bloke with sunglasses on on a rainy February day....

Well it was dead quiet so I thought I'd take a quick pic....

The standard discs and pads make a serious mess and it’s rusty brown colour so on dark wheels looks terrible mine start to look Matt brown after a while luckily they are very easy to clean 

[Greenliner1]

Although Diamond cut anthracite or black wheel look great they soon start looking bad due to poor lacquer application, especially on sharp edges.

 

My other pet hate is where the alloy is parallel or slightly proud of the tyres making kerbing of the alloys inevitable. Low profile tyres with almost no sidewall don’t help and also have a poorer ride quality. Definitely style over substance.

 

Also its some form of torture to clean some alloys especially if you want to reach the inner wheel rim which is of course visible.

 

So my ideal alloys therefore would be hard to kerb, easy to clean, durable and good looking!

Typo

[C2atb]

Multi spoke out of the question then and if kerbing is a issue then smaller wheels would be ideal  although black is much easier to patch up than diamond cut or silver

Christ you lot are a barrel of laughs.

 

"Money no object what would you buy?" ... "Steel rims" 

 

🤣

[silver1011]

Who mentioned steel rims?

[Ootohere]

A Kodiaq in Black seems like an ideal Undertakers car.

 

Looking forward to seeing a Hearse Conversion and a Kodiaq stretched Limo.

Money no object - and you buy a Kodiaq ?

 

[DavidKnell]

The brakes on the front wheels are super soft so they gather alot of brake dust. 
Honestly standard rims for any car dont really do it for me, makes the car look stock. 

Im looking to get these for my white kodiaq Sportline.

I think that's the difference with me and others, I actively pursue the stock or 'OEM' look.

 

The non-stock or modified look ages a car, it is something usually done by younger drivers to their older and cheaper cars in an effort to spruce them up, and therefore becomes synonymous with the boy-racer fraternity.

 

Each to their own though, if we all liked the same things the world would be a boring place!

[SimonAudi]

I agree with Silver - but maybe it depends on the owners point of view / age.....

 

The winter wheels I bought for Kodiaq and Karoq are OEM 17" Mikycas for Kodiaq and Triton for Karoq.

 

Also OEM wheels are strength tested and generally have higher quality standards applied than AM wheels.... that's not to say all AM are bad ... that's clearly not the case... but there are some lower quality ones out there.. that just meet required standards... rather than exceeding them..

 

As long as you stick with a Quality Manufacturer.. strength will be no issue... but they still look AM to my eye..
