I'm very grateful for your advice and I'm excited to enjoy the wheels too.

Thank you very much for your help Carlston, happy days !

Hi again, I'm still struggling to find the Spectrum 7 hole 16" alloy wheels. Seems i would have to buy a set from four different sellers, with the uncertainty of state of refurb / colour match. May i ask for your expert advice please ? Audi made a lovely 5 spoke wheel for the A6, namely C5 8D0601025C 16" x ET45 x 7J which i think were mated to 205/55/16 tyres. Ebay have a set and my question is whether the bolt pattern and fitment will be compatible. Hope i can move on soon and dump the 18's, because this week i've buckled one and one other has a bulge on the sidewall. Damn potholes !

Hi Kingkev and welcome ! Nice models you have there, the Superb must have been one of the first built with the CR engine ? I have been here for a while and i must say it's informative and fun.

Hi Paul, Welcome from a newbie ! It has been fun and so informative to be part of the club and i hope you find it fun too. Thumbs up on your new Rapid too !

Welcome from a relative newbie ! What a beauty, happy days. 😀 When i was a young Dad to my beautiful daughters, i asked them to remember me when i retire by gifting me a VW Touareg V10 TDI. Needless to say i'm still waiting, so......maybe if i moderate my request to an Octavia VRS ? 😁

I agree these look classy and appropriate, thanks for sharing ! Do they conform to the spec' ?

Thank you very much for your well informed reply. Then i will either need to choose an OEM style from the MK2 range or buy a non OEM wheel.

I'm aware this topic has been popular in the past, so please excuse me for giving it another airing. I can't find wheels i like to suit my facelift 63 plate Superb Elegance. My search is for 7J x 16 ET45 five spoke design. (i think this is the correct spec') The MK3 wheels are good but are outside of the spec' So, please tell me if i have to look outside of Skoda product ? I've seen these but unsure of compatibility. Thank you in advance for your comments.

Hi Rob, I've only recently joined and you've definitely come to the right place for a wealth of information and community. Have fun and welcome of course. Nick

Did you go with Pirellis ? I had a set on a Merc last year and thought they were noisy.

Michelin summer tyres have given me the most miles and are hard to beat. Happy New Year !

I bought a complete set of rubber mats which are OEM; i have always preferred to get original. Yes, they're not as thick as others i've had but they have smartened up the cabin ! Time will tell whether they're good quality.

I may be both naive and lucky ! I bought a set of mats and a few small bits for my Superb before reading the above. Delivery took nearly a month and tracking was impossible, but everything arrived and no customs charges - yet !

i was so much younger then 🙂
