Title: New RS6 Style Alloys Pics
Post by: Flipmode on 27 September 2005, 11:57

Here goes folks...first time i have posted pics so hope this works !!.....

Here are some snaps of my new wheels compared with the standard ones i had when i bought the car. I'm really pleased with the way its changed the look of the car but am thinkin of getting some new springs at some point to drop her down a bit, though don't feel its urgent as doesn't look too bad as it is for the short time.  The new wheels are RS6 style alloys 18" with modest Kumho Ecsta tyres. I know these aren't the best rubber available but they got some decent reviews on-line and have won deal to supply tyres to all VW Polo from this year (and they were cheap). Not really lashed it around yet as only got the wheels fitted couple days ago but first impression are that ride quality is virtually the same, tyre noise low, steering bit heavier, grip improved. Won't bore u with any more ramblings.......drive safe ya'll.

Those wheels look sweet as fook.  Just need to lower it a couple of inches and you'll have one beauty of a motor.  :cool:

(Exhaust is looking good too  :wink: )

Cheers Richy,   :grin:

I'm really pleased with them, they look simple but stylish and they're lots easier to clean than the standard ones !! I've tried the wrench from the spare tyre tool set and it reaches those recessed nuts so no probs if i need to get the wheel off at roadside. Will have to wait month or two for the Eibachs though.
