RS Manual Wagons - rare?

[zei20t]

they look gooooooood!

I should probably care less about wheels and care more about finding an actual RS Wagon though shouldn't I?

Speaking of which...no one out there has decided to update their pre-FL RS Wagon yet have they?

the OEM neptunes in 18" weigh 13.5kgs each!!

one day, i'll get these Neuspeed RSe14 rims........
it even has the "RS" wheel badge already & they weigh only 5kgs!!

nice, love the look of those wheels. remind me of BBS CH's

The bore size and stud pattern are an exact match

Tigger:
I would not be offended if you also install these wheels on your RS
Go for it mate - maybe we can start a trend?

Cheers , Thanks mate!
I will go down this path then I think...
I had the non OEM, aftermarket Detroit wheels on my Tiguan, and never regretted it!
They were very good.

Hey Martin, can you post some pics up of yours please?

Ok, here goes:

My Octavia VRS with the Neptune wheels - which look good but too flashy for my taste


My Octavia VRS with the Audi NS4 wheels - have to say I regret taking them off!


My Octavia VRS with the Golf R wheels
Nice and shiny but the gaps between the spokes are too big for my taste


Here is a cool VMR picture - this wheel colour is perfect for a grey car
(However I believe these are 19*8.5 which is outside the size range I want)



I feel guilty - we've taken sir_camel's thread way off his topic
(I actually think you should go for the DSG, they are so much better than manual, and can be used in manual mode)

Thanks mate. Love the wheel talk but I'll get there once I find a car. I'm still pretty set on a manual one. Heard some DSG horror stories and I just much prefer driving a manual car.

I have been searching nearly everyday on all the sites for you, and so far have only found a red liftback...
The combo you are after is so rare.....

Thanks for posting the pics mate!!
I may have missed it, but why did you change from the NS4 wheels?

No worries

Yep - I'm on the Golf R wheels now as I thought they would look awesome but it has not worked out as good as I hoped, maybe gloss black on a Grey car is not the right combination...

i've also been after that 7 -double spoke look! looking around for 17x8 in size, saw some reps off ebay recently.

here's one I photoshopped poorly a while back with the skoda themisto's.
