Has anyone replaced their stock alloys with aftermarket? If so got any pics? Im considering doing it myself

Another excuse to use this pic:

I know what I'll be tracking down if I ever buy an Octy2 vRS

They're BBS CHs by the way - 18s or 19s I believe....

Another excuse for mine to be shown;-

and here is a close-up of one on my dealer's demo;-

They are not perhaps truly 'after market' but do not come from the Factory as an original option.

They are dealer fit B14 style 18" x 8J @ £175 each. Same size as the OEM Zeniths but 0.5J wider that just spays the tyre a bit to IMHO sharpen the handling a touch.

They're 19's, and I love 'em too

This was mine on 18" BBS VZ033, same as CH without the motorsport.

Put back on the OE 18" zeniths as I felt they suited the car better.

Fair play, but think they look stunning personally! :drool:

True - but badly needs lowering though...as the first pic in this thread shows.

Good pics guys especialy like the BBS ones

Agreed. I didnt want to go lowering the car due to the shocking state of some of the roads around here. I felt the 18" Zeniths suited the car better on the standard suspension.

Here's my vRS TDi with Mito KX 18" whitch i'm replacing for next summer.

What about the new Audi RS4s? There is a pic somewhere with a VRs with those on.

When my time comes it will be Audi R8s for me.

can't do it as an image as file/picture is too big.

Found a few more non-std alloys on the net which might be of interest (just scroll down the pages on these links). I particularly like the Audi RS4 style...

And a bit off topic, I also found this back-to-back test video between a TFSI and TDI vRS. Not in English, but I get the impression they preferred petrol!

Good few links there

Do like the RS4s on it - the old style RS6 design suits too, I think. But the R8 wheel is too 'open', IMO.

Yea and they are £5 per wheel less than when I bought them earlier this year. :(

Thought these would look nice on a black one.

my bad!

cheers.

they'd look alright

19" are perfect for the Octavia, and the gunmetal RS4 II are just spot on

The RS4's really suit the octy above
