I don't know what the Atria wheels look like in real life so are these them?

They look like Elba alloys of the new Fabia II FL Elegance :wonder:

They are the Elba alloys. A pic of the Atria ones are on page 13 of the current downloadable brochure on SUK.

after looking at the picture above i'm not so sure now. They don't look as big as the bear, comet, atria wheels or 16" scout wheels.

Probably after some of these then;

17" Trinity alloys not sure if there available over here, even though there seen in the sales brochure.

Personally not keen on these large diameter, wide and low profile designs that SUK keep fitting; can't get suitable tyres for the shabby weather we have on the Wolds for a good part of the year.

Wide W rated tyres are rubbish in cold wet or icy weather :S

those look nice but probably quite expensive and the ride noticeably much harder than my 195 55 15. I've been in a sport with the 205 45 16 tyres and ride wasn't hard.

I might think about the Comet wheels if I lose my bid on ebay.

The Atria and Elba are both very similar although I prefer the older Atria design personally. Whilst 15in was kind of sufficient on the Fabia Mk1, 16in looks too small on the Mk2 because the car is quite tall.

I really like the 17in Trinity wheels but they are on the long list of things Skoda UK have decided we can't have here.

comparing the picture above of the elba wheel and the picture in the ebay advert, they don't look the same size, the pic above look closer to 15 than 16"

Been better if the cars were all hatchbacks and the same colour but to compare

Comet

Elba

Atria

Also interesting to note the different brake disc sizes and types; starting at the top:

1.6 TDI CR (90)

1.2 TSI (85)

1.2 TSI (105) DSG

thanks for the photos. the comet alloys look great. The elba are a common design. A similar design come with certain models of corsas.

all those 3 cars look good but i think that's because of the camera position taken from below head height

What weels you selling? Are they standard Skoda fayre? I may have missed the type so thought to ask.

that doesn't look lowered to me?

My Fab came with the Comet alloys as standard and I thought they looked pants!

Getting the dealer to put white vRS alloys (cant remeber how to spell the name!!!) on instead.

With that eBay ad, just check PCD first (or indeed whichever wheels you're buying). The seller lists compatibility with the VW Golf. If he means the Mk5/6 then this will mean the PCD is 5x112.

You need 5x100 for the Fabia Mk2.
