Hi guys,

Bought a 51 plate vRS last week, noticed it only has 16s on it... with 205/55s.

Is this normal? I always thought the vRSs had 17s?

The hatchback does. The combi comes with 16s. Possible a previous owner felt the ride was too harsh and put the 16" ones on instead.

Well all estates had the 16s, the hatches should be 17s. My Y plate has 17s.

Hmm!

Its a pity as the 17s look much better :(

Hmm!

Best you can really do is look for a set of Ebay, then send your current wheels the same way.

Didn't the RS's on the continent only come with 16's? Or am I imagining that?

when I used to work at Marshall Skoda we used to see a few hatchbacks with 16s on them for some reason. Sometimes they were sold as they were & sometimes we got autho from Skoda to change them.

IIRC correctly early models have 16"s

Early models and Irish imports had 16's.

My Y reg has 16's, it seems some early ones have 16's and others 17's.

I had a 51 plate octy vRS on 16" alloys.............Wish I'd kept it now..The car not the alloys..........YJ 51 WTT

At least the brakes look bigger in the 16" wheels

Haha, too true!

But the wheels look like Liquorice Catherine Wheels. :rofl:

Wierd I bought YJ51 WTT from Honda in Blackpool on 2006, for some reason just put the reg. in google and your post came up. Best Car Ive ever owned - I took it to 170,000 miles and sold it last year. Wish I hadnt now!!!
