    I'll be keeping the 18s to put back on in a few months once that is no longer necessary. I am actually purchasing those ones you linked already. Just for the tyres alone while I'm smashing the k's for the next 3-6 months it will be well worth it.

    Thanks.
    Hi Aztech
    I just posted an update on the link that Kaanage referenced above. Looks like you found 16x6.5s the same as mine. Be interested to hear how you are finding them.
    Anyone seen any of those Audi wheels brad mentioned….. I’m off looking….

    MY11 Skoda Octavia vRS ("GT") wagon, TDI, DSG, candy white, downsized (upgraded) to 16" alloys & 225/50 R16s, leather, tint, towbar, 70w HID lightforce strikers

    Yeah been running it for about a month now on the stock skoda 16x6.5s and have to say the difference is incredible. I was planning on it being a short term thing, get my money out of the tyres and then sell the wheels off for next to nothing and get some new rubber for my 18s.

    Honestly I'm going to be hard pressed going back to the 18s as it is so much nicer to drive, I notice the slightest bit more body roll which is negated by the extra grip I have not bouncing all over the road.

    I hated the look of them to start with compared to the neptunes but now I'm use to seeing them they look normal to me.

    This may be just the different tyres but I've done a couple of launches and it even takes off better, no hopping or skipping.
