Can I get all your thoughts on these wheels please?

[The Speedfighter]

or these in silver to match the roof rails (on a platin grey wagon)?...

AUVW 18x8.0 Style5709

sorry, I cant post the link properly. If you go to this link, just type in style 5709 in the search box...
thanks

That link only brings me to the contact page of Tempe Tyres for some reason

Have you seen a photoshop of the Taladega's under an Octy??

[The Speedfighter]

I searched and found them both - they are both very smart indeed

The FI-R - GM are a copy of the BMW wheel - purhaps to hot and open for the Octavia?

Love these!!!!!!!!!

No...I would like to though....

[Tigger]

I say Detroits: Do it!!!

Thanks for the definite opinion...I am really tipping towards these......
But I also like the ones The Speedfighter has just commented on.

Oh, I hate making decisions....

They're nice, but everyone goes for that style.

Don't do it.
Go the Detroits.

Wow cbay!!
Thanks for posting this pic up!!
Great job...
I am so tempted...

Thoughts everyone??
would it be a strange diluting of the brands..?

Cheers, i've got a nice layered photoshop file set up now where I can change the wheels, roof rails to black/silver, rear window tint, also lower/raise height. It's originally a 118TSI/103TDI so be aware the front bumper is a bit different. i use it for my own dreaming/scheming, if you want some more mock ups let me know what wheels etc because we have the same colour car.

Btw that image i posted is with some lowering maybe 20-30mm

I think the Detroits could work.. but as someone said they work better on some shapes than others.

I have no issue with wheels swapping brands - especially on the VAG platform - although I'd always try and get some Skoda centre caps put on.

Yes. I agree re the centre caps...
I wonder if the original ones would fit in Detroits?

Next time you are passing an RS that is stationery...can you please see if they look the same size as your detroit ones mate?

I will keep an eye out too...

No dramas can do.. had a quick search online, seems the VW centre caps on Detroits are listed as 56mm sized although someone gave even more precise measurements on the golfmk6 forum. I saw a few variations on Skoda caps, 55mm in one spot, while someone was selling 58mm caps and gel stickers on a Skoda forum.. unsure if 1 or 2mm makes a difference there - for a sticker I'd say no, for a cap yes.. so if the Skoda caps you have didn't fit it seems like it would be easy enough to acquire a decent sticker to deal with it (or I'm sure someone sells different sized Skoda branded caps?).

[Tigger]

Yep I guess that is true.

Thanks for your help mate!

[Dutch77]

No worries, looking forward to some pics if you go down this route

Almost had a set for sale, but thinking I'm going to stick with them myself, got some other mods in mind now!

Alternatively, ask a dealership really nicely?

On my Audi wheels, I just removed the Audi logo off the cap & stuck on some cheap (4 for $6) Skoda badges from ebay. Looks fine from more than a metre away
