      • I also like this local brand OX 111, previously posted by mr. dutch in the past, my only complaint about this wheels is the centre wheel cap how come they put their web site address in it, that makes them look cheap, but I have to say that I've seen them in person in black matt and they look very nice indeed.

          Not my absolute fave, but definitely a Good Look - especially in gunmetal against red. I prefer them over that Neuspeed as well.

          • I know this might be slightly off topic, but seeing all the wheel expert on this thread, I thought I might be able to get some help from here.

            Could someone please suggest some nice looking wheels for the 2015 Octavia RS wagon in white (stock height)? I would prefer something in grey/black and 18 inch. Thanks.(I am a NOOB to aftermarket wheels, any feedback will be appreciated).

            Edit* I believe I should provide more details, as I would like to use 235 width tyres, I think I will be looking at something 18*8 or even 18*8.5(please correct me if I am wrong), is it going to cause any problem?

              They might look ok but geez this mob really ticks me off - that OX cap is specifically designed to rip off OZ and yeah I have a bias to the REAL THING.

              I will mock OX drivers MORE than PP owners who retain their Santiagos. No smiley, I'm serious.

              You will be pretty much fine with the same fitments as the Mk7 although if you're going for anything slightly beyond I'd clarify with the Octavia guys.

              Great choice of car and look - suggestions will be highly budget dependent though.

              I would highly recommend OZ, there is an awesome set for sale right now in 18 x 8 ET48.

                    Get the lightest wheel /tyre combo you can afford. Even consider going back to 17" rims. The Mk3 vRS has 340mm brake rotors but 17" will fit.

                    8" is a good size in both 17" & 18" - pick an ET between 42-48 and they will look good. 235/40r18 or 235/45r17

                      What Brad said, he knows more about this stuff than the rest of the posters on this thread put together.

                      But heck, even he is saying 18 x 8 ET48 would be fine, and the HLT cast OZs are pretty light. OK, shameless plug over again.

                      Back to regular programming, some VMRs in a fitment that wouldnt be legal locally unless played with, 19 x 8.5 ET35:

                      • From what I can work out, the Octavia is opposite to a Golf, so what would poke at the rear of a Golf is fine on an Octy & what would poke at the front of an Octy fits fine on a Golf.

                        IOW: the Golf has more room under the front guards & the Octy has more room under the rear.

                        geez, those VMRs look good!

                        edit: The wheels Dutch has for sale are very nice. Worth a 2nd look & a solid fitment.

                        I like Oz, Speedlines, Enkei & Team Dynamics but there are plenty of other nice looking & lightweight wheels out there. I note that Tire Rack appear to have relaunched their house brand TRMotorsport and a very lightweight (and cheap) Kosei.
                        Koya are worth a look too

                        A lightweight 18x8 will be around 8.5kg at best and you'll be paying $450/wheel upwards.

                        A lightweight 17x8 will be around 7.5 kg (easily attained) and the price starts around $250

                        • Can't fault the information above as always.

                          I haven't been a huge fan of the 701 but they actually do work pretty well on that car.

                          By the way no suggestion of wheel issues here, just a case of what happens when a pothole is hit at 55mph.

                          On the flipside the owner was able to ditch the Cadiz which he didn't like anyway and instead grabbed a set of the new Rotiform SPFs which seem to be quickly gaining popularity on the Mk7:
