Stupidly large wheels will mean slower acceleration though!

Yes but they seem to be offset by rubber band tyres.

That Skoda - that photo nicely illustrates why black wheels are just horrible. You can't even make out what sort they are. It's just blackness. Great. Makes it look really cheap, it'd be much nicer with silver wheels. I guess it's because from a distance it hides the fact it even has alloys and therefore makes it look like a car with steel wheels which the owner has bounced off curbs until the hubcabs have fallen off.

Totally agree with that, except in very rare cases i absolutely hate black wheels. They almost never suit anything they are on and just look like steels.

I don't think with 220bhp it minds too much tbh.

I do like that XJL. Was in one a while back and while the leg room at the back was enough to fully stretch out (I'm 5ft 8) I did notice creaking trim where the door sill is as you exit and your body weight pushes against it from the seat padding.

I hope they sorted that kind of thing out on the newer cars.

Guessing a 1.8T? What you had done to it?

Can't say I am a fan of the wheels either. As long as you are happy with them, that is all that matters.

Only had a remap, slightly bigger charge cooler and an exhaust system it's significantly better than 100bhp odd zetec s.

 

[Relentless81]

Around 220bhp needs stage1 so remap, intake, cat back and TIP

The wheels look fine to me suits the car

That XJ - epic.

They aren't black

I quite like them. In fact, I'm fairly sure you are the first person in the 2 years they are this colour, who disliked them.

Also, I can make out quite clearly they are OEM 17" vRS Spiders.

If Fox was the first, put me down as second, I've never like dark wheels on mor cars, the current black edition octavia VRS is ruined by its wheels. Have you got tinted head lights too, they look odd in that pic above.

Previous owner had them tinted for a short while. Not tinted anymore.

I would generally agree about black/dark wheels but IMO they suit the square-ish look of the mk1 vRS.

Polo R?! Is that a 2.0TFSI?

 

[Kenai]

R-Line, it's a trim level isn't it?

Much like an Audi S-Line is to an S or RS car.

Probably a 1.6TDI

 

[Janesy B]

I like how 'line' is written in text that is 1nm in size.

You can have one of those in 60ps or 70ps form. Awesome.

 

[Kenai]

Ah, seems the R-Line only comes with the 105PS 1.2 TSI, so at least not a TDI

 

[Janesy B]

There's an R-Line style with either 60 or 70ps too.
