Hi Folks

This is just a wee rant .

How hard is it when your budget is not huge to get a set of 17" spiders from a mk1 Octavia vrs for my mk1 Fabia vrs in Scotland.

Ive been looking for months and they are rarer than hens teeth.

Rant over

Sorry for wasting your time and making you all read this.

Thanks and happy Skodaing

lol

hmmm what would i be offered on a mint set no kerbing painted in anthracite

I paid £330 for a set of avus S3 wheels just refurbed in black with near new tyres. Just keep ur eyes peeled

Matt

well if someone offered me £400 id be very tempted

Slightly easier than trying to find them in 16", I bet! I gave up after a year. :'(

yeppers the 16"'s are rarer than rocking horse do do....i've got some octy 17" but there far from good, in need of a refurb but the turbo side of the car has been costing me a small fortune lately :(

I offered my 16" Spiders for free last year...nobody took them !

for free??? why??? still got em? :p if so calling first dibs haha

At one point i had 2 sets of 16's and struggled for weeks to shift the second set - must be a timing thing i guess

But does any one actaully look at the for sale section on here?

5 x 17" Spiders

4 x 16" Spiders

Or

Ebay 1

Ebay 2

I think it is; it was a few years back I was looking, as soon as I gave up and bought a couple sets of the normal Fabia vRS wheels the 16s started appearing.

And I don't think the missus would let me have any more wheels about the house, otherwise I'd get some to store for a rainy day refurb.

Try finding a set of Evolo's!

RE the entry by PastyBoy

I did look on the items for sale on the site and the 17" Spiders on the site are the same ones that are on ebay the problem is that they are in Reading which makes them harder to get and poss dearer to buy .

Thanks for all the replys will start looking at other wheels
