Not sure which wheels - 18s or 19s

19s with 235/35s give the same rolling diameter , but comfort / tramlining ??

Anyway - do I go for A or B below ? My Meggy is a Black facelift elite.

Mmmm, do I like A or A?

I'd go for A.

Personally, I would go with something from a higher specced model (ie. MV6 wheels etc.) but out of the 2 you have shown, I would choose option A, but only in 18" max. (think of the future tyre bills)

[VXL V6]

MV6 facelift alloys are barely different to Elite ones, just appear to have slightly prouder spokes and a 45 degree slice where they meet the rim.

The very last Elites, MV6's and Sports all had exactly the same wheels.

I do like standard wheels or Irmscher wheels, getting non-standard wheels can be a gamble and either looks rubbish or brilliant IMHO.

Sorry I should have looked at his profile first...

No need for sorry! I wasn't having a go so i'm sorry if it came out like that! I was just commenting from what i've noticed glaring at Omega's (must get out of the habit!)

[cem_devecioglu]

In my idea Size 18 must be the max..

also second link B is better...Omega is not nice with wheels that show the inner brake structure..More closed models are better I think..

Also be carefull for 5*110 otherwise you will have balance problems..

[omega3000elite]

5x110 balance probs ??

Is that not the recomended fitment for Meggy's ??

Not at all! Perhaps it is because I want a set of the older MV6 wheels, (black detail) and they are on my mind! Didn't realise the car was an '01 :-/
True what you say about aftermarket wheels though, could go either way and its an expensive mistake if they don't look right.

[omega3000elite]

Also , interested why everyone says 18 max - 235/35/19 is closer to rolling diameter current than 225/40/18 - so would keep gearing / speedo etc as designed.

[omega3000elite]

There is a pic on 1st listing of them on a meggy - just thought the 5 spoke design (similar to 17 standard) but with black detail on a black car would look sweet ?

[Jay w]

personally i would go with neither....

they have too much gap between the spokes, this is great if you want to show off a nice big brake conversion with alloy 4 pots etc, but standard calipers with smallish looking disks (compared to the wheel anyway) will look a bit naff.

just my opinion

5*110 is the correct size others will be problem
