hi guys need your opinion, been looking for rims for my cars.
found some nice 16" wheels, and got a quote, for 205/45/r16 yokohama s drive
with these rims:

for about 822 pound.

what say you??

I think that's a lot of money personally. I'd be more inclined to stick with OEM ish wheels by getting some from another car from the VAG group. Though this is done quite a lot. So entirely up to you

 

[Badishi]

problem is, in Israel, prices of these things are thru the roof!!
for example, i had to pay around 6000 quid's for an 04' seat ibiza 1.4 75 bhp with 80,000 miles on the clock.

anyway there's not to many people who own VAG's in Israel which sell OEM parts...

tuff luck :|

 

[wrayvon]

Ahh sorry didn't see you are located in Israel. Well the price of your car certainly dictates a lot when it comes to prices over there then!

 

[Badishi]

we have taxes that reach 116% value of the car,
so if a car costs 3000 pound in England it'll cost at least 6600 in Israel, crazy ain't it?
this is why most young people drive really old cars, they can't afford to buy safe, young normal cars...

Yeh tax on cars in Israel is astronomical. Tbh I hardly saw any VAGs when I was here.....although in Rothschild were a few, and heading towards Haifa.

Israel is missing a modificating store, but as you say no one modifies cos cars so expensive

you've been to Israel?

nice

no mod store cause it'll be so expensive so don't worth the money...
plus, most performance mod's are illegal..

even changing bumpers can get your car to be illegal...

 

[DOLBY]

Yeh loadsss of times dude, just got back. Going again next month!

WHOAAAH never knew it was illegal to modify. I even asked a few close friends what 'business' is missing from Israel and no one told me that! Shux, that's **** news dude.

give me a shout man i'll take you to see some nice roads in Israel

 

[DOLBY]

Nah not business mate. Went there travelling early 2011, loved it then been back 6 or 7 times since!

Well driving to Haifa in my hire car I was seeing all these roads that my LCR would RULE on....smooth as hell, open highways. Although driving in Tel Aviv my pride and joy would be ruined in a week lol.

Yeh cheers dude!!
