Is my Fr alloy a standard colour ???

[mattso118]

Basically I just nee dsomeone to confirm whether the wheels on my car are completely standard or whether they have been resprayed at some point in their life, as I am currently trying to find two new ones, but obviously want a colour match....

Cheers all

No.

def not an original colour mate..

 

[mattso118]

No didn't think they were : ( means I'm gonna have to buy a whole set not just two. In which case I will shortly have two fr alloys for sale ! Seen a set of fabia vrs alloys for 250 with newish tyres. Any thoughts ?

Or you could buy 2 new ones, and get all 4 freshly refurbed in a colour of your choice?

The Fabia ones are nice.. same size as your current ones

 

[mattso118]

I've only seen them for sale once and they are 185 on eBay for two and need a refurb. Plus I need two new tyres so will deffo be cheaper for the vrs wheels. Would like to go to 17 but the cost jump is big.

nope

 

[mattso118]

Nope ???

 

[knight85]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the Fabia VRS (130 PD) wheels are 16's, the FR 6L wheels are 17's? Unless you're referring to the most recent VRS fab?

The pre-facelift FR had 16" alloys

 

[Crow555]

Ah, I see. Consider me corrected then.

 

[mattso118]

yeah mine are definately 16" although for whatever reason they look bigger than the wheels on the vrs? also does anyone know the weight differences between the wheels ?
