New Wheels On The Family Bus

[leeds_182]

Fitted these today. Im pretty happy with how they look tbh. Im tempted to go with coilovers but as its a daily I dont really want to totally ruin the ride and its £650 fitted for the ones I want!

Here are the pics;

Pimpin'
Looks good, but it'll look even better a bit lower

 

[markhinton]

Smart looking family bus. Tbh it doesn't look like a monster truck as it stands, I could live with that

 

[Eddie.]

Look lovely tbh, lows would suit it perfectly!

What wheels are they??

 

[leeds_182]

Rotiform.........reps!

That's what I thought mate. I'm in no doubt that it would look better lower (everything does) but doing 15k a year so don't want to lose the ride quality.

 

[GeorgeH]

Wouldnt bother with coilovers, would look like every other audi. Looks mint like that tbh! Nice going!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Personally, i would have preferred to see it on some 18" 5 spoke S-Line wheels like so:

Looks like its trying a little hard now, especially without lowz.

 

[Ollie82.]

Why is everyone saying in needs to go lower? Wheels fill the arches perfectly, it doesn't look jacked and to slam it yo would just ruin the ride.

Looks good as is IMO.

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

Bit too bling pour moi, nice bus though

 

[Ollie82.]

Sod having to clean them though.....

 

[Eddie.]

Rotiform.........reps!

:dapprove: just as I feared.

Still look really good though

I've got no doubt they will snap in half within 25 miles but it's a chance I'm going to take.

These were the exact two thoughts that went through my head. Everyone on forums is obsessed with lowering, it doesn't look silly to me at all!

 

[_Tom]

Not for me unfotunately. I wouldnt worry about lows though.

I would have gone for something like Roti Nues

Looks awesome Jim. Would be even better with some coilovers!! But it does look good as it is!

I'd just go for some Eibachs and take it down 20mm or something. Ride should be improved as well.

This!

 

[Fletcher]

I prefered it before TBH.

 

[.Adam.]

I want a bus like that. Top stuff.

 

[Christopher]

They can't be genuine?

Needs to go 30-40 lower IMO.

 

[Dunn]

i certainly must not be 'scene'

not for me im afraid

[leeds_182]

Mixed opinions but I really like them and I guess that's all that matters. I'll see how it goes over the next few months on standard suspension.

 

[leeds_182]

I looked into this but the car has done 107k and is still on the original suspension and the consensus is that lowering just on springs may put too much strain on the original suspension.

 

[Gaz.]

Personally I'm surprised at how small they look for 19s, but whatever.

They'll be corroded in weeks

 

[SC03OTT]

I'll go against the grain, I don't really like them.

 

[jenic]

I'm not keen, I do like the colour of that Audi however

 

[leeds_182]

I don't think that's against the grain tbh!

Wheel snob

 

[SC03OTT]

I only had a quick scan of the replays, looked like the majority liked them. I do like the car, just the wheels are not to my taste.

 

[ch!ppen]

I think it looks alright tbf

 

[Rich_172]

looks awesome man. sod coilies looks fine

 

[RSteve]

Think it looks great pal.

 

[Kieran..]

love it!

 

[coxy777]

Not for me I'm afraid. Needs to be totally decked to pull them off imo. For me a different design wheel with at a push a slight drop would be much better.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Not a big fan... Seen a lot worse mind.

Maybe some chrome (S?) mirror caps to blur the bling a little ?!

 

[leeds_182]

I don't like the chrome mirror caps. I Don't see the wheels as bling tbh, certainly not after 100 miles driving!

The more I think about it, the more I'm against lowering now. Don't get me wrong, it looks cool but I'm in my thirties and crawling over speed bumps for me is a bit 2004.

Reps FTW
