Looking to change my wheels but im quite fond of my 16" so are there many wheels out there in 16 that will fit the fabia so i could also throw my current tyres onto? Not quite sure what style i want to go 4 but my vrs is bog standard so any suggestions?

cheers

The wheel archive might throw up some good ideas.

Personally, I like Octy Spiders, OZ Superleggeras, and Lenso Samurais. I'll see If I can find some pics.

Budget?

i love the octy spiders but dont have a clue were i would find a set. Dont really have a budget ill just save up for whatever is right. Think im going to stick to 16" possibly 17" if there right. Not sure if i want to go for the dub look or not. but i might add on a cupra front splitter and then go for that big mouth look with the octy spider alloys.....??????

Well, I think that possibly doing an anthracite job on your current wheels could be a cheap way to freshen things up. I've seen a few Spiders in the For Sale section here, but you could always try Fleabay. Best of luck though, and do post pics when/if you make the change.

These are nice too though:

but these are sheer class IMO:

Octy 17's are lush and there are no problems running them, best tire choice also is 215/40/17

Nice wheels. What make are they OZ Racing?

Here's a couple of pics of mine with 17inch RS4 five spoke reps.

I agree, needs lowering

Ohhhh wow.

That Fabia on Superleggeras looks the absolute nuts, although the front bumper makes it look like it's got a huuuge nose!

And are they TT wheels in the top picture, on the black VRS?

Yes they are the TT competition alloys (17")

Same as mine hehe

Is your suspension lowered too? I've got a set of 17" Octy Spiders in being refurbed at the moment and they will be wrapped with Goodyear 215x40x17 rubber and I'm sure I read somewhere that they will look awful unless I drop the springs too.

Any truth in that?

Its lowered 25mm on Eibachs, i had mine on OEM suspension - doesnt look massively high but the Eibachs are a massive improvement. I should have went lower :thumbdwn:

Heres a side on with Eibachs

Just looked for OEM suspension pics but i deleted them

Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to bite the bullet and do it. Koni FSD's and Eibachs here I come!

Im just running the Eibachs, no problems on OEM dampers and ride is uncompromised

Are the Audi TT wheels a direct fit? Also what tyres you need on them? different to standard TT tyres? I love those TT wheels above.

Anyone selling some?

Has been covered quite a lot before, but yes they're a direct fit. They require 205/40/17 or 215/40/17 spec tyres to be fitted. Std tyre for this rim is a 225/45/17, but this is the wrong rolling radius for a Fabia, and will cause rubbing as well.

This is moving a fair bit from the original question though, as none of the cars pictured have been running 16s! The red Fabia was even running 18" OZs There's quite a few 5x100 16" wheels you could look at from the VAG stable. For my winter wheels this time round, I used a BBS Montreal-II for example, used on the Golf MkIV, again fitted with suitable tyres; 205/45/16 just like your std vRS wheels. These will be up for sale shortly as my summer wheels go on. More details in my Member's Car thread, but here's a quick photo:

215/40/17 is my preffered choice over the 205's look better (not as stretched) and protect the rim a bit more

No running issues....

I am looking at getting some of these. They are genuine Audi TT Competition wheels. 7.5" Wide ET32 and 17" Dia. Tyres 205/40-17 Yokohama Parada nearly new tyres.

One question is about nuts, do the factory nuts work or will I need new ones?

You can use your existing wheel bolts, no problem.
