looks to be the wrong offset also best to put a gti back beam on as it makes the wheel sit better and rub less. I had 18's on my old one for about a month then took them off.

then i put 19's on but built the car around them so it was still drivable and could take 5 people with no rubbing.

Looks good, and nice choice of wheel, cant go wrong with those, BUT as alot of people have said i think there too big for a little 106, even 17's are big on them.

But if you got your heart set on them then do it but make sure you have decent suspension to go on as it will ride terrible as it is without shit suspension ontop of that

do the wheels even turn?

the only wheels you should fit to a 106 are 306gti6 alloys...

sorry, but completely spoiled the car, why do so many people still think bigger is better?

well i think if you look at the 15" front wheel and you look at the 18" rear wheel the 18" def looks better.. not just because its a kahn but the 15'ins just look so tiny...

Thanks for the comments.. positive and negative

Let's hope it doesn't effect the handling and safety of the car too much seeing as you drive your kid/s around in it.

I have learnt that 18's look super cool on a 106 especially 18" kahns!
I have also learnt that lads are worse than girls for there super bitchy comments....

Thank you for the few that have admitted they actually look good!



Please read the posts below for some even bitchier comments!!!
