18 or 19 inch wheels on my LC (RS6 replicas)

[Ruddmeister]

Stick to 18's Pabs they were fine on my old LCR, once the suspension was sorted I always thought they looked big enough

Any more would be Chavvy and expensive in the tyre dept IMO

For the centre caps they came with black caps and I got Linz at the Vinyl store to make some mirror finish SEAT 'S' logo's and they looked pretty good (the OE SEAT centre caps are a different size)

but can't be that noticable surely??? What are we talking here, microseconds?

I think (and I'm not quoting)

That rotational weight goes up at the square of the speed

so if you want to go from 40-80mph the 'extra' weight will increase by 4x

Seriously though, I saw a Leon on 19's yesterday with rubber bands on & thought how much more right 18's were

lol sorry - misread the comma to be a / hehe

18's it is... just gotta see if i can afford it now

okey cokey Thats what I wanted - opinions! Sounds all too techie for me, but 18's it is..

I could get the RS6's cheaper, but it would mean sacrificing the GSD3's which I don't want to do.

My current Leon alloys still have 4/5mm tread left on the 4GSD3's I'm using, and the spare alloy has 2-3mm left and looks like I've got a bit of interest in selling them - just need to get new ones before selling old ones (for obvious reasons! )

id go for 18" personally

Rudd - thanks mate. It was your car that inspired me to get them anyway.
Indeed - tyres would be more expensive too.

I believe centre caps are 60mm diameter, ebay do loads but might try the vinyl store too...

only one thing mate, your wheels look better than other RS6's i've seen - where did you get em and how much? Are they the hyper silver or std silver? Ta

Grant at Westec sourced them for me, dunno much more than that, they seemed good quality and the price was good. Call or email him sure he will do you a good deal......

(Grant can do good prices on wheels but less good on tyres)

 

[Pabs]

thats what I thought.... Westec's website is very basic, if not empty...
Might give em a bell, but I've got a good price so doubt they'll come close..
