😂 Fair enough!

Not sure on the centre caps yet but I’ve already got some (genuine) covers for the wheel nuts, going to wait and see if I can either blag some centre caps from the dealer or wait and see what size they are.

Recently joined myself for the same reasons, welcome 👍

I’m always been quite obsessive with the alloys on any of the cars I’ve had and the alloys on the last car I sold still looked like new after a few years on the road. I’ve been thinking much the same regarding dirt, grit and grime getting trapped behind the inserts and the fact that taking them off to clean may do more harm than good, what daft idea! 😆

Also this! 🤣

Mmm…that’s what I’m thinking too.

Something else that I’ve been wondering about with the aero inserts is the potential for them to mark the alloys, marking and scuffing them from friction fit and general vibration from driving. Has anyone got experience, good or bad with the inserts so far?

So even though the car is a few months away it pays to be prepared right? Any excuse to buy a few goodies in advance 😁

Hello! What model did you go for?

That’s interesting to hear, I wonder if that’s still an option as the dealer said even they can’t request a different alloy to what it leaves the factory with? Good to know that the 19’s aren’t as harsh as expected, I’ve heard this from a few people now 👍

@Keithjock Very nice! I also have the same model (but manual) and colour incoming sometime early in the new year, can’t wait 😁 I must admit I’m also in two minds about the wheel inserts, I did ask the dealer if I could swap them for 18’s but they reckoned they couldn’t. Will have to wait and see how they look in the flesh I guess. Did they offer regular centre caps & wheel nut caps when you picked it up?

Watching this with interest as I’ve also been looking at wind deflectors for when I finally get my Karoq but have run into the same issues you’ve mentioned above.

Thanks for that 👍

That’s great, thanks for that. Also handy to know there’s an option of centre caps and bolt covers at PDI, the dealer didn’t mention that at the time I asked. Cheers

Apologies for the typos above but I can’t seem to edit my post…

I’ve currently got a Sportline on order that’ll hopefully be here in the early part of the New Year and the only thing I’m not particularly keen on is the alloys it comes with, especially with the ‘aero inserts’ Given the option I’d have chosen something smaller but hey-ho. My question is has anyone running the alloys without the inserts and do you have a photo of the rims without the inserts please? Also I’m guessing the wheel nuts require a 17mm socket? I can’t seem to find any reference to the size online. Thanks

I hope so 🤞

Hello All After much deliberation, several test drives and much haggling today I’ve finally placed an order for a Karoq Sportline. Had many car marques over the years but this will be my first Škoda and I’m looking forward to when it (hopefully) arrives in around 12 weeks time. Looking forward to getting involved, just hope my posts aren’t fault finding ones…😆 Cheers
