AZURES3 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Managed to source some 19" wheels with 100 mile sold Michelin tyres on from a great guy on a forum who took delivery of his car then upgraded to 20" within a week. The wheels and tyres are as if new and definitely look better thank the 18" ones that will be on eBay next week. The ride quality if unaffected which is great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busby Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Lovely looking wheels. Were the 18's that came off the same design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 You've bought part worns!!!!! I have 19s on mine and the ride seems fine over the quality UK roads! Glad it hasn't affected the ride. Are they RFs or normal tyres? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZURES3 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Lovely looking wheels. Were the 18's that came off the same design? The 18" wheels look very similar 613m design but the 19" 351m design is slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Recently gone from 18" in the S3 to 19" in the RS3 with no adverse effects. I did wonder if it would be bone shaking on our crap roads but its not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Managed to source some 19" wheels with 100 mile sold Michelin tyres on from a great guy on a forum who took delivery of his car then upgraded to 20" within a week. The wheels and tyres are as if new and definitely look better thank the 18" ones that will be on eBay next week. The ride quality if unaffected which is great Eh? When you got the car you said you'd driven one with 19"'s on and felt the ride was too hard! From 1st June, in the thread where you said you'd bought the car: "Ride on 18" wheels was good thought ride on 19" wheels car we tried ruined the relaxed ride" Anyway, it matters not, I said from the outset that when I tried the two, I couldn't see any difference (or particularly noticeable). The people who complain about the ride of a 5 series on 19's (and some still do on 18's) should buy a Mercedes E Class in vomit suspension guise.
