We are close to ordering a new Elegance. In the brochure the only option for wheels is the 17" Pegasus/Lowered suspension option.

We don't want that because of the harsher ride. However looking in the "Original Accessories" brochure there are some other 16" wheels listed which are the same price as the Vega which is standard.

Can one order the car with some of those instead of the Vegas at no extra charge?

Presumably you can have them fitted later but have to pay full cost of a set of wheels?

They wouldn't change mine at no extra cost [this was a year or so ago though]. BUT my car was already built so it might be different with one ordered from scratch.

Spoke to my dealer this morning about this over a coffee,

He said the only way off changing wheels to ones out of the accessories catalogue, is to see if the spares department will possibly buy your new standard alloys off you and give you a discount on your new wheels.

Or see if the factory will fit your new car with std steel wheels for a reduced price then put your new wheels on when it arrives at the dealers.

I have an elegance with the vega wheels, I didn't want the pegusus ones because it made the car slightly lower and I live in the country and do quite a few miles on narrow unkept lanes. I like the vega wheels because they are easy to clean, on the previous fabia vrs that i had the wheels were more intricate and took more effort to clean them.

My main journey to work is on the A465 where I am also glad to have a slightly higher car because while they are doing the roadworks on the Abergavenny/Gilwern stretch the road is quite bumpy and now with the Autumn rains pretty muddy at times to, so am even more glad I chose to have the standard vega wheels. Hope that helps.

Thanks all, I think we will stick with standard wheels as it sounds v complicated to change, they don't look at all bad, I just thought the "Twister" ones looked nicer.
