I know this is a Skoda but you guys on this thread are the VAG experts on wheel porn, what do you think of this? I ask as an Octavia owner and am thinking of the white wheel option...

Off topic but did spot this blue n white combo:



And another angle of the Aqua Wonder:

Thanks again Dutch. I am drooling and grateful simultaneously. Not a good look for me but the top picture is very good looking, I think that I will go for it, a few months away but seriously considering white VMR wheels on the race blue Occy and take Brad's advice on brake pads.
So many wheels, so little time!

No probs, our only request here is a pic or two of the finished results.

So many wheels, so little time!

On a day where too many wheels would be barely enough.

Ok, some Monday morning colour:

I think the white car doesn't work as well as it's not lowered.

Lowering is like bacon..

I don't think polished rims go well with white generally, although it does then end up a little more OEMish.

Speaking of which:

It's funny that the same rims look killer on the red car and then really doesn't suit the white. Lowering makes a massive difference - white car has too big a wheel gap to look "right".

Oh myyy

I want these so badly.. Ditch the white highlighting on the tyres though

No more funds in the modding budget since the Mk2 came along lol

The red is wearing the anthracite finish though, which I think works well on white - even at stock height.

It's the age old problem though - ride comfort/practicality/cost/legality v bacon.

I like these GTs, but LOVE the LMs.

I could see LMs in my future again one day.

If the Mk2 ever picks up wheels then it must be posted here.

[Dutch77]

Now we're talking, LMs. Oops, thats not a Mk7.

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

Thank you all for the advises, after I had a look at the brands suggested here, I might go with Enkei this time as they have distributor in Australia(I think it's called autotechnik) and their price isn't too expensive, just need to pick one that looks good on the Octavia Wagon. Might go with the darker colour Rajin or RPF1.

Edit* I might also consider the RS05RR but these only come with 18*8.5.
