Found these and really do like the rims, been told they are ONLY available in 19's? really would like some in 18's/ Are there any replicas in 18's ?
I have a 5 door and use it daily, must be practical - I really think 19's are going to come with issues.........

Big thread about Helios reps there...
-
Never seen the Phaeton Helios wheels in 18", real or reps.
Reps are available in 19" from all over the place. Found these, autoalloys.com but no idea of the quality though. The real ones weigh as much as the planet Earth and aren't cheap either so the reps might be lighter and definitely cheaper.
19" 5x112. £600 for a set......

Proving that you get your geometry setup with the bigger wheels on you shouldn't have any issues :-)
-
I really do :drool: love these rims - 19's are just tooooo big in my opinion, unless you really drop it, I think it cann look so so wrong. Sorry, I do not mean to upset anyone, this is MY opinion only:
BAD - look way too big

Errrrrr go somewhere in the middle maybe????? :happy2:
-
As Andy says, in the middle, drop of about 30mm will do the trick. Not sure if you'll need any modding to the arch liners, at least the screw delete I'd imagine as those Helios are 9" wide I think. Eibach Sportlines or H&R springs will do the trick.

That does look nice :drool:
can you get away with some shorter springs?
Concerns - carry 4 ppl, shopping etc. is this going to start rubbing, catching and causing full lock issues? annyone with 19's here?
-
I was concerned that my 19s were going to look stupid but now that I've got them, I'm glad I did, the mk5 has big arches. I've had no problems with rubbing on full lock or going over bumps. The ride hasn't really changed either, but it has got noisier :(
My wheels are 8.5 wide with 235 35 19 tyres (Goodyear eagle f1)

Standard suspension lol.

I dont know why people are worried about 19" wheels??? The Rolling Radius has to be kept the same (or near as dammit) thats why you run 35 profile tyres instead of 40 profile.
As long as you stick to certain sizes of 19" wheels and tyres you wont have any problems. I don't. Ive been running 19's for years. No rubbing at all. Even with the car full. Plus I have H&R lowering springs fitted.
Stick to 19X8J ET45 wheels and 225X35X19 tyres and its the same as having 18X8J ET45 wheels. :confused:
