My 19” vegas are rough

Kerbs, clear coat is flaking, worming

Debating a few things

Upgrading to 20” vegas

Refurbing these, but I don’t know what colour to go for, not a fan of the diamond cut lips etc so would prefer a solid colour over it all

Or leaving them and buying aftermarket

Advice

Anyone fitted 20” vegas?

2 things to bear in mind:

1. They weigh a ton

2. Whilst they do look natural, they sit beautifully proud of tyres inviting the most exquisite of lovetaps with any and every kerb.

My advice, get something that is a little lighter and also that sits flat or dishes in slightly.

Also not a fan of diamond-cut given its propensity to give up the ghost so easily.

Yeah I think mines kerbed from a pothole since I’ve got it already

I know what I fancy

Just mega bucks

Motec MCR2. Perfect.

Ooo they’re nice. I had been eyeing up the team dynamics LT in black. No way can I afford them mind you!

This gave me a good idea

Ha ha cheaper by about £450 than the wheels I was originally looking at

Skoda retail prices are incredibly effective at financially justifying aftermarket parts.

The Motec's I saw were used on the Superb 2.5 on instagram (green/gold estate with the 2.5 RS3 5 cylinder). Looked lush.

I have a feeling they may need a spigot ring to get the right the centre bore. That was the beaty of the McLaren's I have - correct CB, correct PCD, slightly lower offset to give a tad more poke. Half the weight. Look up App Tech.

I had my eye on a lovely set of mclarens but 2 sold ha ha

I had Porsche wheels on my fabia

So always like to try different things

Love that

Green is my favourite colour as well!

That’s the one @Binx1310

Ditto @RogueWagon . This is a great colour as is the Royal Green on the official Sleeper version.

And the 5-cyl has a very similar resonant note to a V10. Very envious.

The fronts are 19”, the rears are 20” so a set of 4 fronts fits perfect. I think Gallardo wheels fit too but I’m not convinced they fit stylistically.

I tried to buy a set of non-badged centre caps (happy not to have emblems) but after 2 sets (albeit Ali Express) neither of them fit so I gave up.
