Hi

Just a bit curious about what size wheels people have on there cars, are 18" the way forward, or are 17" still a good size to have??? do you have standard wheels or something a bit special?

If you select what size and what style piccys would be nice to

Cheers

I've got 18s on mine, picture taken on me phone camera

18's on the Beast

I'm running the standard 17" alloys on mine

18" RS6 wheels on mine, did have RS4`s but sold them for the same price as i payed for the RS6`s:D

Phil

nice Phil, you wouldnt happen to have pic's of the RS4 or RS5 would ya, be interested to see them

Seen quite a few vRS's round my way, but all are std 17" guess its cos it looks good

I'd like to complain that mine weren't an option.

hi i went for the 18" zeniths not sure youd notice much differance from the 17" unless you had the two near each other

at least having them stops me wanting to go bigger

hopefully link works to pictures

Skoda 6.5x16 5-spokes. Not quite sure if they're standard or not; the size is, but I think the style was a dealer option on the Elegance.

what do they look like ken?

these are the standard elegance wheels

these are my current wheels, fitted to clear my brakes and no other reason. but i do like them

Well Bengie; your earlier reply's got the pattern mine's got.

then they are standard elegance wheels

looks like most people have the std 17" alloys, hmm, thats got me thinking......... i thought it would be a different result!! ie, more different styles??

I think most people like to keep the car standard, as once something's changed it's no longer "original". I wanted to make mine look slightly different so it really stands out when you see it against a standard car. It's all about personal preference I think.

Standard 16 or 17 x 6.5s fill the arches widthwise. Bigger diameter wheels and lower profiles won't fill the height, so why spend out on them unless you actually need/want bigger discs than the std rims can accomodate? Not like a slam isn't better visually, and IMO any of the std or optional pattern alloys are pretty good looking and fairly well engineered wheels.

As I said, It's personal preference. There are plenty of vrs owners on here who have posted pictures of there cars with things they've done that changes the appearance, and people have commented positively and negatively with their "Personal" opinion. I love my car but thought that the black trim broke up the shape of the car too much, and the standard alloys were too small, so I changed those things to suit me.

My 18's

Had 20" A8's

But just swapped to 19" new RS4.

ohh, very nice mate

got 19" rs6 alloys on mine

nice is it a thing to have 19" alloys on a yellow car? got another 2 pics saved with 19's

just spotted these!!!!

@ sabredylan : great car !!

I'm in the process of choosing between 18" and 19" for my skoda octavia.

Since your car seems to have the perfect suspension/wheel size combo I was wondering if you could answer a couple of my questions:

- How wide are your RS4 rims? are they 8"?

- How much are you lowered and do your rims rub against the arches?

Thx!!

Cheers
