Will this wheel look good on my wife's Golf VI? It is a 17 x 7.5 RS4 replica and will be fitted with 225/45R17 tyres. The Golf is Silver Leaf in colour.
The two cheapest tyres I was quoted on are:
Bob Jane Xenon Z7
Maxxis MAZ1
Do you and your wife think it will look good?
If so, what does it matter what anyone else here thinks?
As for tyres, it would be unwise to put your car and your safety at risk by buying 'cheap' tyres. You should look at buying great tyres at cheap prices! You can purchase the current best all round tyre, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric in a 225/45R17 94Y for only US$142 each. If you have a friend in the USA, you can even then get a US$80 mail-in-rebate. But even if you don't, at US$142 each, even if it cost you US$250 in shipping, that's US$818, or AUD$932 at the current exchange rate.
They're all ok... but still inferior. Infact, that particular Bridgestone is even inferior to the Bridgestone VW puts on the cars as standard!
The Yoko C Drive is an 'every day' tyre, again, probably worse than the standard VW offering and made in the Philippines.
The Michelin's are one that I don't know a great deal about. They're no longer available overseas from places like Tirerack, so either their an old model or weren't popular, or price/performance wasn't great or something. Just the tread design (no unbroken concentric circle for the car to 'sit on') means that again, they're probably not as good as the standard tyres VW puts on your car (both for performance AND for comfort/quietness).
I was email the wrong picture. It should have been....
I don't like this wheel at all. It is a shame as the manager spent an hour with me searching for suitable wheels. Hopefully he can find something else I like.
I dropped into to Ozzy Tires this afternoon. I was told they could only do 20" and over. I will try Tirepower tomorrow.
I just came across the VMR wheels. I like them, very nice.
Also try looking at Miro wheels and MRR wheels.
They are a bit alternative and unique here as they are mostly for america, however the high Aussie dollar and low shipping rates should get some here cheaper than tempe wheels even.
