[karthik247]

oh and u think i shuold go for 16" or 17"..clearly haven'y made up my mind

BBS from speed shop from chennai seems good. But cost you over 1 lk. Autopsyche had couple of nice alloys for less than 30 k. Do check with him.

go for 18 inch looks good and fits well. for rims on octi 17 inchers. autop is a good person to get to

[karthik247]

18" would be too much and the ride comfort will go down...also i would have to keep replacing the alloys cuz of the bad roads here..

Hi.
17"with 225/45R 17 tyre is perfect for octavia.....
But you can go upto19"

yes you are right jesal i had seen the same on an yellow rs at carters and last time at the kharghar drag race tooo but i think they were just too big and i could see them touching the body on high speeds

[karthik247]

so how much do u think will these alloys and the tyres cost?? i'm planning to get them from mumbai, b'lore or delhi...there aren't many good shops here and the ones that are there don't have much of a selection...

so if anyone can hel me out PM me..like i said i'm just looking for 17"...no 18" or 19"

if you are planning to go above 16. prices start from 5000 per piece for both. 1 tyre 1 alloy = 10000. max for 17 inches u should be talking about 60k. prices here also depend upon the design of the rims as well

[karthik247]

how would the blue HR alloys, like the one nitroxx has look on the silver octy?? i thought of gettin them along with 205/55 Eagle F1 D2

[ported_head]

Are you sure about getting 205/55 R 17? Considering the stock Octy comes with 195/65 R15, that would make a difference of 71.63 mm in rolling circumference or 3.59 %. Not advisable. I believe the correct tyre upgrade would be 205/50 R17, unless I got the Octy's stats all wrong.

[autopsyche]

I think anything beyond 17s on an octy would be pushing it too far, optimum size being 225/45/R17s for sure, have also fitted 235/40 and 235/45 without any trouble (Mostly using Silverstone FTZ tires). Have about 12 different designs in 17inch available with me varying in silver, hyper black and chrome finishes... will try to get you pics of all designs.

i would be nice if u could post a few pix...i'm looking for multi-spoke alloys or alloys with thinner spokes, so that the disc really gets seen out

[autopsyche]

Ahh i have the perfect one for you, i have put one very similar design in thin multi spokes in hyper silver where the disc is really seen even when the car is running. They look really hot on a red 1.8T rider. WIll get you pics tomorrow for sure. Later.

[karthik247]

i'm thinkin abt gettin the Goodyear Eagle F1's to go with the 17" alloys..my buget is 40k and max at 50k..so i will have to comprimise on the tyres...:(
