Abi 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Thinking that i want some different shoes for the VR and wondering what i want... Still going to keep the Cups... but want to have two sets... so these will be my daily road ones so not looking for anything too bling My problem with the cups is the offset and the spacers... so looking for something to fit better under the arch.. so looking for ideas... thought about 17" RS4 sytle Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 could always pick up a set of the original vr rims and do a diy refurb on them - nice and cheap and good for dailys Link to post Share on other sites

nivag27 5 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I have seen a vr with the rs4s and they do look nice, But you might have rubbing issues if you carry alot of weight in the back Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I meant the original vr6 ones were overdone not your new ones as for the center caps - there Skoda ones !!! only messing Link to post Share on other sites
twoscoops 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Cheers Ben thanks for the link. I am liking those wheels, where do you find them?? Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 no no no I like the new ones yeah I know what you mean - at least on fleecebay now you can specify bolts and pattern to narrow down your search but lots of peeps dont put that info in the ebay header so the wheels dont come up !!!!Yeah I like the new octavia vrs - bit tricky round here as the police have a couple of unmarked ones !! have to avoid playing with those !

Abi 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Well i might get them... will see what else i can find ...i want to have them on at GTi next weekend... I also like the idea of another set of these.. Link to post Share on other sites

Neil-VR 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 i have tt wheels on myn they are 17" and rub like fuck and i cant go full lock without rub, I think i wanna go back to standard or a smaller wheel. Thing is i dont want the wheels to be sucked into the car, I hear u you can use spacers but cant i space them out enuf to go flush with the arches or not far off and be legal ???Cheers Nice wheels btw Link to post Share on other sites
