New Octavia RS Wheels and Bilstein Shocks
A few days ago a friend who owns an Octavia RS posted a "for sale" ad at the skodaclub.gr section selling his 16'' original wheels, complete with used but in very good condition Michelin Pilot HX 205/55-ZR16 tires. I jumped on the opportunity, since I was in dire need of new tires and bought them. My friend had already gone one size up, to 17'' wheels on his RS.
The wheel size difference is quite obvious! The 15'' at the front.
The new wheels fitted on the car!
It does look the biz, now!
Good as the wheels were, we needed new suspension, too!
The car has 69000km's now and it's 4.5 years old... See what we did!
