Just purchased these from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN:IT&ih=027 for £25!!! Will they fit a 99 TDI estate? I've tried one and all the wheel bolt holes line up but the centre disc is recessed whereas it's flush on the normal steel wheels? Any ideas???

I believe there are different wheel bolts for alloys and steel wheels.

I've got the correct alloy wheel bolts it's just the actual fitment I'm concerned about. When you put the wheel on there is a centre disc which the wheel fits over and it seems to be recessed on the alloys wheras it's flush on the steel wheels.

I thought octavias had 15" wheels.....

Those look more like Fabia 1 alloys to me. The seller has quoted a tyre size, not a wheel size, anyway.

And yes Bloodnok, IME Octys have 15" (pre-facelift, Classic and Ambiante), or larger on Elegance, L&K and vRS models.

Yep I agree with KenOneill thay are from a Fabia. Anyway thay still look a lot better than the horrible steel wheels that I've got at the momment. But are they safe to fit, has anybody put Fabia wheels on an Octavia before?

Yes , Mk1 Fabia and Mk1 Octavia wheels will fit on each other just fine , though you'll need different profile tyres for each car.

What size tyres are you running just now? You'll need to sort out a tyre size that gives you the same rolling radius within about +/-2%.
