Can I do the wheel change myself or do I need to get it done by a pro? Is it just like changing a flat lol?

If you need to ask then get someone to do it for you, when putting different wheels on its good practice to make sure they don't rub on anything.

Its not rocket science, but a bit of common sense is needed.

I would agree with Gizmo here.....if you have asked that question then maybe it's best to get someonelse to do it but it really is as simple as changing a flat tyre and if you have bought some OEM wheels then your not going to have any rubbing problems..........unless you have decked it or are fitting 20's..........

...unless you... are fitting 20's..........

Hmm.

/me wonders if this is the shape of the Bakermobile-to-come... :confused:

They are now in the boot of the Passat. Pleased with the condition of them, not as bad as I was expecting, and a very good price indeed.

Can't wait to get them on tomorrow!!!

:P

Bluefox,

If you are looking for some 17 inch solid alloys i might be changing mine soon. Reasonable condition, one needs a refurb the rest are pretty good with a few scratches. Just let me know if you're interested. Looking to put some new RS4 style wheels on mine.

Ben.

You weren't joking on it being dark or dirty were you?

New wheels surely means a clean up and photoshoot this weekend for the forum?!?!

Yep I am here mate.....

The ride will be different but this also varies depending on what profile tyre you choose with your wheel size....usually the lower the profile the harder the ride....

My wheels are ASA AR1's but they no longer produce these however they have released a new version of it that look much better...

The only thing to bear in mind with fitting larger wheels is that you may suffer from the 'tractor look' if you don't lower it but I understand that this isn't everyone's cup of tea....

18's would be a sensible upgrade and like my recent change to some black 18's they didn't look that big but this was due to the low profile I was running on the tyre....

Here are some pics for thought:

That supurb really is supurb! Those big silver 19's really do make that car look 'pimp' loving the splitter as well:thumbup:

Thanks for that mate............not many people seem to mention or notice the splitter but it makes a massive difference to the front end of the Superb IMHO!!
