Gutted...

Just had some new tyres fitted to me beeza to get the lad at teh garage say...

Excuse us mate but you want to look at this mess.. (panic on..) it seems that at some point before i had my car its met with acurb or pot hole at light speed... the inner rim of the drivers side wheel is buckle... so much that with the new tyre on the reverb shudders the wheel at 70...

So I say to the dealer new wheel plz... he says.. I'll see what the sales managwe says ei we're gonna blame you (ie me ).

So now I'm at a point of waiting on the dealer... looking for anyone who is selling the ibiza fr wheels (or wheel)... or going for some new rims...

I like the OZ seat ones with the red writing on them but not sure where to buy them... perhaps limited edition... Or some RS8's (do they come in 17")

Its yet another thing to chalk up to my bad experience with seat lol.....

But love the car and thinking about a remap...

PS I know thats a bit messy as posts goes but the main points.

RS8's in 17"
The OZ racing wheels with red writing Seat anniversery?? (SP)
Replacement (second hand) FR Ibizawheels.

Good excuse to get some new alloys sorted and deffo go for a remap! But I 100% agree seat dealers are shockingly bad!

 

[T. Spark]

Are they the facelift 17 inch FR wheels, or the prefacelift 16's matey?

 

[spyke85]

What on earth is an RS8 wheel? No such thing!

 

[az_mk]

ebay for audi reps and they do do most of them in 17" i would defo go for some audi replica's they look awesome!

 

[rashcupra]

They're not though, really annoys me. They are from an A8 W12, no such thing as an RS8

if thats what they are listed as its obvious people are going to quote them being that wheel though? but fair comment cant say i knew that!

Gets amusing though when a guy comes into work saying he wants RS8 wheels and we tell him that there is no such car, with him leaving looking puzzled.

really gets on my tits too. My best mate keeps calling them that

 

[Mikey_H]

whatever they are they look terrible i like the new rs4 alloys painted same colour as standard fr wheels would look sweet unlucky about the wheel mate, i find best way to deat with crap dealers is to go in and just say manager now please, then kick up a fuss just say right i would like the head offices adress and point of contact for complaints they want to keep you happy remember that your the customer, they say a bad experience will be told to 10 of the person involved friends or family and a good experince to 2 so its in their best intrests to make sure you leave with a smile mate, try it i bet you it works.

in response to seveal..

facelift 17" wheels not the 16...

RS8 well lar de dar ... What he said 'A8 W12'... But i think they'd look pucka.

Any ideas on the OZ wheels which have seat sport written on them...

I'm gonna give the dealer a rollickin tomorrow if i dont get what i want.

 

[UncleFester]

Just out of interest, did you not notice the wheel wobbling until the new tyres went on? Was the damage to the wheel fresh or was it all old and blistered?

 

[Cowie]

oooooooooo where are you going with this pat

 

[UncleFester]

Just call me untrusting .........
