hey guys

Sorry about making another alloy thread, the others dont quite have the info I want.

Ive currently got the standard 15" steel wheels on my octavia 1.9Tdi GLX 1999

IIRC someone said all the octavia mk1 alloys have the same fittings, 5 stud, and the same offset.

What are the standard figures again please?

I've been thinking about getting these; (not from there though).

Has anyone tried these, team dynamics pro race 1.2?

What tyre sizes should I be buying to go with the 15" aftermarket alloys?

standard huge profile tyres or lower profiles?

Thanks

They look more like Pro Race 1's not 1.2's.

Tyre size depends on what width of wheel your going for.Post your width up and also what size tyres you have on it now.

I would go for a 16" or maybe even 17" wheel,rather than a 15"

They could be 1's I only just googled it quickly for a photo.

Cool I'll have a look at the standard sizes later on, thanks.

wont bigger size alloys throw the speedo off?

yea mate go 17" or 18". they look like the 1,2 lol, just the paint is a special.

I have some and one is back at TD getting sorted I hope as there is a small crack in it for some reason. might be paint or could be a fault in the metal.

They are nice rims and very light. You def can tell the diff when you go back to replicas or std 17" spiders.

for 17" ones get 17x7 et 38 with either 225 45 17 or 205 50 17(most money)

18" ones get 18x8 et 35 with 225 40 18 tyres.

17 is a goos size and not that expensive on rubber either. and would look good. 18 is a tad big really when you jump from 15" lol

Thanks for the reply's guys.

The current tyre sizes for my model are;

195 / 65 R15 (91H)

I do like mkI VRS 17"s alloys, if anyone has a set??

I have no idea what the current offset is?

what is the VRS standard sizes of wheel, tyre, and offset?
