Help...17 Inch Alloys

karthik247 · 20th February 2006, 19:03

The 3rd one looks the best, and very sporty and would also be the pick of the lot!

Is the 3rd one made by League? Could u PM me the price of it.

wth u lancer,the 1st & 2nd would look gr8 on a OHC/lancer/optra,but not gr8 on ur ride.3rd one is neat!

you need alloys even with the awesome spider alloy wheels shipped with the RS. And dude, 17 inchers will only give you the looks, never comfort or ride quality. Do do consider before going in for it.

yes i know im going to lose out on the comfort but its okay.cant find any design worth spending 50k + on in 16 inch therefore going for 17.
i dont really like the spiders.they never really did it for me.

i find oz titans very hot. check them out as well. frankly dint like any designs since u are going for 17 inches there is a big world of rims out there for sure.

i agree, there are a lot of desings in 17 inch but not in my budget.im not getting exactly the third desing im getting something similar.i will post pics when i get them.

If I had an opinion being the guy who fixes these machines thru out the day I'd say steer clear from 17" coz this isn't L.A. my friend and trust me Skoda suspensions aren't cheap n this will definitely wear you out in 6 months...ask the master mechanic dude!

Sahil · 22nd February 2006, 23:43

i'd pic the 1st one LG208. That outer ring will look awesome and the finish of the alloys will suit your cars color.
Let us in on some of the pricing that you get while buying the alloys.

i am taking into account of what nitroxx ssaid and stalling it until i figure out what to do.

Smart choice.

Nitroxx is right. 17" will kill your suspensions for sure on our roads. Stick to 16". May not look as cool, but you'll thank yourself.

23rd February 2006, 22:44

i dont think its worth spending 35-50 k if im going in fro 16 inch rims as i already have the spiders which are 16.so im contemplating whether to go in for 17 or scrap the idea

captainsokhi · 25th February 2006, 15:04

go in for the LG209, 3rd pic....
don't worry abt the suspension thingy...
even i've got 17s in my octy from past 10 months but theres no prob with the suspension. i knw u'll feel all the small small bumps like there are of a very bigger size. but only 17s look hot on Octys......
and the similar design u r talking abt.. wht make it is???
