Timo. 0 Posted October 9, 2004 they're nice wheels like 8) Go for it, 150 bucks is a bargain. What size are they? 17"? Timo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samm_cvr6 0 Posted October 10, 2004 I think they are cool, will look much better on the C than the Octavia as it is a smaller car, I would be very tempted to put them on the C! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted October 10, 2004 And 17's will make your C ride like a pneumatic drill... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymarcel 0 Posted October 10, 2004 My car's already on 17s Dinkus and it does not drive like that at all, In fact it wearnt much different to kev's on 15s with us both useing koni's with h&r springs. Have you ever driven a c with 17s dinkus>?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever driven a c with 17s dinkus>?? In fairness nope. But with wheels that big you have to lose tyre profile, so you'll get a much harder ride. Kev's apparently going back to 15's on his cos it doesn't handle as well on the 16's... ;) Those Skoda wheels are nice tho Edit: Ey up, I just found your C in the members gallery...keep the BBS dude! They're much nicer than the Skoda wheels 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted October 10, 2004 i like the wheel and its a good price but as the octavia is based on the passat i dont think they are the same PCD??? 112 x5 i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree the bbs are superior and these wheels wont stay on for long if at all. :D Cheers for the comments Jedi, you got me worried and running down to the garage for a min, They are stamped 7x17 5x100 et38. not quite the same as the bbs they are et35.

STORM 2 0 Posted October 10, 2004 I think the wheels are pretty nice - and have that air of exclusivity. they will be a good quality product as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
