What alloys for my Passat?

Well, I'm not too keen on the roller skate look, so my Passat is going to be lowered on Eibach springs, and thinking of either 16" or 17" alloys to replace my 15s. Not going for 18s as I really want to maintain some ride comfort. :)

What do people think would look good? Would like to stay genuine VW/Audi etc I think. Feel free to photoshop away! ;)

Ah, the good old Bistars!!! Wish they came up for sale more often, they are ultra rare! :) Do look spot on though. :thumbup:

They are like rocking horse sh!t, just tried searching and nothing anywhere.

Santa Monica's always look good.

Yep, std wheel on the W8 Passat - epic :drool:

Still think Helios Tom :P

Definitely stick with a wheel inside the VAG family I reckon. Better value for money if you track down a decent 2nd hand buy, and contributes greatly towards OEM+ :thumbup:

Only 6th reply in the thread Steve, disappointed.

I nearly won a set of bistars on ebay last week, but couldn't quite part with the cash... :rofl: They were available as an option across the range, but tbh most people tend to keep them if they get them.

As for Helios, yeah, find me a set! :rofl:

I kinda wasn't expecting a thread about it right this second!! :rolleyes: :P

I'm trying to make up for it now though ;)

Blinding alloys!!! :thumbup:

Not a bad price either really, considering brand new. Very tempted.

Yep, take a lot of beating those :rubchin:

Not available to fit the Passat though unless I go replica. :(

Look awesome on Bengies white estate though... :thumbup:

Hmm.

I think these would look good

Not meaning to urinate on any bonfires, but no adapters for me, thanks. :P

Bloody lovely wheels though.

Much more realistic this time - quite like these ones. 17s off an A4... :)

Offsets would wrong anyhow. S3s in 5x100 form are a 32 or 35. So you'd need to start skimming metal off them, or the hub, to get somewhere near the circa 50 offset the Passat requires - Damn!

I recognise that 3rd picture Tom ;) - I can confirm to everyone else that that isn't a photoshop :P

Steve

RS6 reps may be.

Awwwwww I thought I had a friend then, will have to carry on being a loner
