Been looking at these for a while, they offer the 18 RS6's with Goodyear tyres for £700 delivered.

1. Will they fit?
2. Can I lower my car at a future date?
3. What are peoples opinions? (Blingtastic or Terrible)
4. What are Goodyears like?
5. Any affects on driving style / mpg etc?

seen as i have these ill go first

1.yes
2.yes
3.suit the leon more than any other wheel, but alot of people have them
4.goodyears are really good tyres, alot here swear by them religiously
5.felt slightly less throwable to me, mpg still crap

am having some fitted today

they are fine on the LC double check that they are 5 x 100's

 

[thebeno]

Rik H, is yours diesel or petrol?

Is £700 a good price?

 

[Cowie]

got mine for 600 with falkens fitted so not bad if you have the goodyears

 

[stuart86]

you can lower it further but you will need longer drop links and your sump wount like you

ive dropped mine so that the arch sits over the top of the tyre.. dosent really need to be slammed on its belly imo

 

[Cowie]

Rik out of interst what have you done about the centre cap...is it plain or have you added a seat logo badge to it?

 

[thebeno]

Hmmm, some appear to be 5 x 112, will they not fit?

 

[Cowie]

nope they have to be 5 x 100's mate

 

[stuart86]

you need 5x100's rs6 replicas

rs6 original wheels are 5x112 iirr

 

[RikH]

thebeno - yes mine's petrol
cowie - i did get some Seat centre badges but i couldnt be arsed, they are plain flat silver like the wheel itself

I like these, smoked powder coated, how easy would it be to remove the scuffs?

 

[RikH]

car actually sits real low with them on, everyone asks if ive dropped it
recently round at kez's it looked even lower than his LCR

 

[Cowie]

[Cowie]

No probs mate thought i was having pc issues again lol

 

[RikH]

Right then...

Just about to order these folks, a couple of questions:

1. The ebay advert says both 5x100 AND 5x112, do they mean they have 2 sets of alloys? Or will one set fit both fitments?

2. Also getting some Falken 452's, will be buying 225 / 40 / R18 92Y XL, are these correct for my wheels / car?

Cheers folks
