My new wheels have arrived!

Featured Replies

God! and I love 'em. Takes me back to the first time I saw my VW evolo alloys on ebay and knew I just HAD to have 'em. Only set me back

looking very nice :)

Nice, J :)

What was wrong with the tantrums? (That you beat me to buying, you rotter) ;)

I thought the wheels you were buying had the skoda badge?

devonutopia, where did you get those Skoda centre caps from?

They did indeed, but looking at the auction piccie, I'm not sure those inserts are actually in the wheel, looks like they're sitting on top only. I'm not bothered at all, as I suspect Skoda badges won't fit as I've found out, and the ATEK ones keep a little bit of the "I'm not a skoda really" feeling going. ;):D

My main dealer in Exeter (as was, but no longer is) They're up for grabs for a tenner now. :thumbup:

They look good Jason! What size boots are they going to be wrapped in?

205/40 R17 Toyo Proxes T1-S. Bit the bullet and bought four new ones today from a somerset based supplier -

They look the same as my Fox 6's i had on my Coupe.

Hmmm, they do indeed! :thumbup:

Found out about the skoda inserts issue - matey had forgotten to pack them in one of the boxes, so they're coming out to me a.s.a.p. Will see what they look like upon arrival, but I may stick with the ATEK ones. :D

BTW - Anyone know anything about ATEK, as a company? I can't seem to find any info on where they're based / what they do in terms of alloys, etc.

God! and I love 'em.
They look good - and easy to clean, I imagine. Are the bog standard rims a bit of a pain to clean?

Well - 14" steel wheel covers are a doddle. ;)

The league tantrums were OK to clean though, but these will be even easier, especially with the gunk coming from weathertec (thanks Jon :D) on them all.

What is the coupe in question by the way????

Renault Megane ...IIRC.

Just done some digging around on the net and found a finnish wheel supplier that sells the same wheels but does not have prices on the website, and my finish is not that great.

Jason what size are the bigger wheel caps?

Good question. You mean the Atek ones? They are 56mm between the outside edges of the fitting clips, 59mm across the face. The Skoda ones I have up for grabs now are 56mm across the facem, and 50mm inside the clips.

Hi Jason, I'm looking to replace the badges on my Octy Vrs with the standard badges, as I haven't removed the old ones I don't know what they look like off the wheel.

The ones that you're getting rid the direct replacements that I'm looking for and the correct size? I've seen people mention 50mm dia. before but in a previous reply you mentioned 50 and 56mm. I'm also guessing it's a set of 4.

I'm afraid its been 14 months since my last note on this thread, and the badges have gone indeed. They were the right size for the octy vRS alloys I think, and they fitted in my old Evolo VW alloys I had before on my old Fabia. I'm still using these alloys as in my first post on this thread, with the centre caps they came with. :)

Thanks it was worth a shot.

Just had a look on fleabay but nothing, any idea how much Skoda main dealers charge for a full set?
