Tyre & Alloys Query for my Skoda

moralfibre · 31st July 2007, 12:16

Nanu, you will have to scout tyre dealers in Pune because I doubt there are many Skoda vRS' in town who prefer to change the stock alloys. What is the cost of a new set of wheels?

Skoda dealers charge Rs.12,000 per wheel. So a set of 4 is Rs.48,000/-!

You get a set of 4, 15" OZ's now for 50k from Methods.

Rtech · 31st July 2007, 12:31

and you can get 2 SE P1i's as well for that money. The list goes on. But the quality of the wheel is top class. Keep looking nanu, there are quite a few floating around in the market. It's a great deal used.

exactly, they are for 48K at the Showroom...would rather get OZ's if I was looking to spend that much...Thats why Looking for used ones...
....The hunt continues...

Hi Bhpians,
I have been hunting for a set of 4 vRS Alloys for a while now as they are way too expensive from the company.
Its been over a year of search in vain I hope this time I finally find a decend deal on them.
If you know anyone who has replaced their vRS with after market and they wish to sell please infrom me.
As you can see i have been hunting for a while for them, so please help me out.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers,

PS. Location preferbably Mumbai/Pune.
PSS. I would like them to be used but in great condition obviously.

You can contact Mr. Hanush Patel at 9820430757. He's the Yoko distributor & he'll direct you to a dealer in your area.

N. Mehta Tyres, near Swargate has Yokos. You can give my reference; I spoke to him about Yokos just 5 mins back.

N. Mehta is located on Tilak Road, diagonally opp. Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, just before the Petrol Pump at the Swargate crossroad.

Hi
I am really confused about which tyre to get.
All I know is I dont want GoodYear, for some reason put off by them.
I have liked Bridgestone, Yokohamas, Michellin and Perilli.
The size I am looking at is 215/60/R15 V rated.
Please help me decide which ones to get...
info on price and performace would be great.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers,cheers:

Hi,

I own a vRS with stock 16 inch wheels - came shod with Dunlop sport 2000 as the O.E. tyres.

Car was tuned a few months back by Pete to 240 bhp and then I switched to Yoko - db Decibel 215/55/ 16 - ride was really harsh. Also, the overall rolling radius was increased due to his tyre profile.

Now running on PP2's - 225/ 50 / 16. They are great. Car rides and handles much better now.

nanu28 · 18th February 2008, 15:30

The problem I am having is that i have 15" Rim size and not 16" as the vRS. Hence I am finding it hard to find tyres that suit my purpose.
The only ones I could find in the size I require with the V speed rating was the YOKOHAMA AVS ES 100.
I would like some more choices but is it really hard to find tyres with the following size: 215/60/R15 V

HELP!!

ecclipse78 · 18th February 2008, 19:46

Nanu,

The 1.8 Tpi comes with a 6J rim; I doubt it you would be able to fit 215 size tyes ( My local tyre guy here says no. )

I think it would be better for you to upgrade to 16 inch wheels, rather than buy 15 inch 6.5 J wheels.
RS alloy wheels for eg. are 6.5 J, with either 205 / 55/ R16 (or) 225 / 50/ R16.

Let me know if you need help with pricing on the tyres.

are you running on the stock rims or do you have aftermarket alloys?
