hi there i wanted a new set of "18 and wondered if a set of 5X100 SEAT Alloys would fit my classic. Cheers

Check the ET, you need between 48 and 53.

Also, 18's are NOT a good idea on classics, spoil the ride AND the handling.

According to Prodrive, who invented modding them, 17 is the biggest to go for.

18 for style and 17s for race track

Style? You like a car that looks like Mattel HotWheelz?

Have to say I preferred the handling and feel of my classic on 18's rather than the 17's I put on it for a while

Thanks for the replies ill stick with my 17s i think. Thanks for the feedback peeps

Depnds on the tyres as much as the wheels IMO. A nice RE070 or a S03PP on a 17 will be stiffer than a GSD3 or similar on a 17.

Get the geometry setup properly and a good stiff tyre on a 17 is the way to go...

Having written that, my P1 on 18s still rides better than my Fabia VRS on 16s.

Ultraleggeras gold in 18" size are irresistable
