Chris,

The bottom ones look the best of the bunch

I loathe the split rim look of the first alloy, but each to their own.

Cheers,

Jon

[Babs]

None, sorry :(

OZ superleggras. Or octy mk I spiders. Or porsche,

[Captain Scarlet]

If it has to be from those three...the bottom set.

But seeing the Mk1 octy vrs wheels on jasc1988's car they look real good. Otherwise I quite like the R32 style wheels. For more inspiration try looking through the members cars pictures.

Nothing multi stud they always look tack.

O.Z Superturismos in 18" fitment. Have them fitted to my vRS and they look fit!

[rs_chris_uk]

Give me a sec Chris I'l blaze up some pictures.

With regards to handling she is amazing. There is no issues with rubbing and she has been lowered on Eibach springs. Which I think are still settling as it looks a tad high. Oddly enough when your physically looking at the car it looks a tad low. :P

Would definitly recommend them. Most people have them in 17" fitment, but 18 seems to look alot more masculine when close up. The brakes look a tad small though.

[rs_chris_uk]

defo look real nice! take it if you fit 18's then the car will defo need lowering

[jasc1988]

Yes /\

On 18's it even looks high on eibachs, i would go 40mm + with 18's

[Offerman]

Yes /\

On 18's it even looks high on eibachs, i would go 40mm + with 18's

The gap between the arch gets smaller when you go from 17"s to 18"s because the diameter increases. So it looks alot lower then if it was on 17"s.

I think its partly my ****ed driveway...and it was only slammed a week ago.

[jasc1988]

Yes maybe, but the wheel gets bigger so makes the car higher

Eibachs arent much of a drop anyhow, still need to fit mines, im running 17's on stilts

[Offerman]

Yes maybe, but the wheel gets bigger so makes the car higher

Yes definitly; if the Eibachs where say about a 25mm drop - which I think they are; and the wheel diameter has increased by 16mm, then...well the actual car drop is not that much. The arch gap however has dropped to a pleasing amount.

So I guess in essence as the cars C of G has not really dropped much the handling as not really improved massivly - also the wider tyres seem to make her aquaplain more. But the increased stiff springness does seem to make the car more sure-footed.

I can just smell a Jabba ARB on the horizon. *looks at wheezing wallet*

get some octavia vrs wheels oem but look cool and for extra nice factor get them painted black or white

[rs_chris_uk]

I know your car!

I think anyway.

Limited Ed, with bold number plate with the ltd edition number at the bottom? :confused:

[skudmissile]

How about white oem ones for the SE

[AndyVRS]

Sorry but don't go white, if your going to change the colour it has to be dark. Don't really want to say my choice as I haven't seen one with them but here goes Speedline Turinis I think would look the muts nuts

[john_grant358]

White octy MkI wheels would look the gorgey!

[oilburninnut]

anthracite octy spiders,not original but still great,i am still considering white wheels for mine:D

[Mr Grumpy]

I have a set of spiders for the wifes se, but as yet am undecided as to which colour to do them.

Anthracite seems favourite atm, then they can be interchangeable with my silver vRS.
