Wheels for Skoda Octavia - Opinions on choice.

[kaanage]

*Sigh* Why doe sit have to be this hard?

'cos the car wasn't designed to cope with excessively wide tyres.

mmm I like the look of this one and looks like he's running Audi rims or replica Audi rims.....


I gotta ask - what is it with black rims?? They dont really stand out, more a stealthy look


Now these have some contrast, but getting a bit tired of this design


Now these BBS rims i think are close to the 19 x 8 ET50 or even ET55, but they're expensive


Different look, especially with the side skirts and spoiler add ons

Been looking into audi replica wheels too as alternatives. Just hope the offset is suitable for it:

Original choice were these VMR 710 or replica of the same 710's wheels:

mmm yeah i was looking at the 2nd set at the Audi dealership the other day.....

I like this idea with the matching colouring. Also i want to get that decal on the door , or at least get a picture of it so i can make my own smaller decals

[Gti Dave]

Yeah that is a pretty cool decal. Kinda reminds me of the one on the toyota supra in the first fast and the furious but wouldnt want the flames portion though. Makes the decal look a ittle ricey IMO. Otherwise it would make a real good version of vw's fast icon for skoda

Would looooove folding mirrors....infact, i know you've been looking into that on briskoda haha

Black grill doesn't look too bad, bit stealthish - but not my thing

Whatever rims you upgrade to, get one with an offset that will allow you to upgrade your brakes to a BBK. My personal favourite - Neuspeed RSe07 (18 inch)!

19" Rims with 235/35 Tyres...Lowered on Coilovers

[Gti Dave]

Yeah saw that today and thought...Hmmm...nah...not as good looking as I hoped. Fronts stick out of the guards and not sure of the design anymore.
Anyways, I've finally decided on a set of these in 19x8 et45:

Since the best colours to go with a yellow car is either black or gunmetal grey and they don't come in grey, I can get these and maybe repaint at a later stage if I feel like a colour change.

I was thinking of getting Chromies in the similar style - Am going along the Metallic silver/Chrome look

[dru]

They look nice, and by the specs on the tyres - only 18's?

Seem to look bigger then they are!

[dazag]

Yeah they look bigger as they're on a Golf, but just wanted to show the design.

[woofy]

Just a FYI, there is a clearance on OEM Skoda wheels in the dealer section I just noticed, someone can get the pre FL Octy RS wheels along with the rest of the range there.

[Gti Dave]

Unfortunately the wheels they posted are single display units remaining and not full sets. I already pm'd the guy. Good for a spare though.
