I'm kinda biased.

The rear wheels are very like mine, so I say rear wheels
Slightly different, but very similar.

Fronts fronts fronts





UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

Front

Rears are nice but dont suit the car, they make the wheel look too small for the car.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Rears don't look right on a car that big.

Thanks , aesthetes one and all

I agree so it's off to the tyre company to take the brand new tyres of the "rear" set glue them back on the "front" set then stick the worn out "front" tyres back on the brand new "rear" wheels then next to be seen on an auction website near you soon . All because Audi changed the design of thier A3 "sport" wheels to something less attractive on a Skoda and my sad vanity is only surpassed by the Audi drivers who keep floggin 17's and fitting 19's

Cheers

Fronts!

The front wheels seem to fill the arches better, but most modern cars make the rear wheels look smaller than the front through.

your opinion on wheels please

"your opinion on wheels please|''

Yes you'll definitely need some. Bikists get by with two but four are maybe more suitable for your purposes or even five if you want to carry a spare. Sorry but someone had to say it.

Fronts.
