Looking at new alloys but nervous after chatting to Wardy about non-VAG-stable alloys.

Found these which would look quite smart on my Silver Octy but nervous about hubs/adapters, anyone had experience?

Dezent Motion 18" - Skoda Octavia / Rimstyle.com

What do people think? Copy and paste job I reckon.

I'm sure that's what Oggy has on his silver vRS?

Nice wheels!

Is ET38 a bit risky? Reading other threads I have kinda been led to believe that I should look for an ET of 42-45 so that scrubbing doesnt occur. Have I misunderstood?

I'd be looking for 18x8, but is Uncle8ill's choice of a 7.5 a better one?

I guess as long as the wheels are 'within tolerance' then it wouldn't hurt to shop outside to VAG choice?

The standard spider alloys are et38, so If you go for some that are et42-45 you will have to probably have to run spacers to space them out.

The Dezent motion alloys I have fitted are 18x7.5 & et38. No rubbing problems at all:thumbup:

Another couple of pics

Thanks for the pics. These are the wheels that I'm considering if I don't find a set of mint OZ superleggeras for pennies on ebay

Good responses, thanks all. I remember seeing your car Oggy at Gaydon, gave me some nice ideas!
