Can I get all your thoughts on these wheels please?

[sir_camel]

I promise that whenever I finally find a Skoda wagon that I will ask opinions on wheels...unless I find Fat/Flat Fives in the meantime. If I do, no opinion need be sought...

I'll believe it when I see a pic of the car with new wheels on.

I'll be a little lost without this thread though, can someone else ask for new wheel opinions?

LOL, I had no idea what you meant until I googled, now I know exactly what they are.. I think they'd work well on the wagon so long as there was quite a drop in stock height.

Absolutely! Bluefrogs car in this picture I think looks amazing



I agree that the A8 wheels are definitely one of the best.

I know, I now...I am really procrastinating with this...But yes...we have a winner!
I will be going in this week for them!!

Yay!

Now my wife loves these too for her White Polo GTI (black sunroof etc... will look good I reckon...
But I want her to get the Detroits for hers...but her choice of course...

Awesome - I just love the Octavia Wagon in Blue/White/Black (hard to pick a winner out of those)

A slight hijack for a few posts...

Can anyone confirm how much wider the track would be if I fit rims with the following specs to a Skoda RS?

18 x 8 ET45
PCD 5x112
with 225/40r18

And do rims that fit a mk6 Golf fit the Skoda's or are there issues with centre bore measurements?

[Martin]

The distance between the inner rims will be same as stock
The distance between the outer rims will be 26mm wider

Same center bore size with MK6

How about these?



Item Package: (What you get?) - 4x Brand New Wheels "18 INCH APEC SBB707 Wheels POLISHED GUNMETAL" !! - 4x Brand New Tyres Fitted and Balanced to the wheels. - 4x Chrome Valves - Ready to roll jus

I reckon these both suit Tigger's car and driving style PERFECTLY!!

@Tigger- You'd better have them by next meet. ;p

Holy #$%*! that's cheap.. I love that design too.. don't get me back in the wheel hunt.

At that price I guess the (questionable?) rep of APEC doesnt matter too much.. well depending on what the car will be used for.

At THAT price?!... These are mine, at the price I paid: 18x7.5 Panther Flite
Was skeptical at first, but they look mint on the car. Feel great too!!... Tyres aren't up to much chop until you wear a good 1-2mm off them, which doesn't take much considering how much sliding you'll do.
But thats okay - the sooner they wear out, the sooner they'll get replaced!!

Thanks Martin. Very helpful. Do I buy rims before I buy a car? ha

No worries - don't buy rims yet - you never know which car/colour you will end up with
