I searched through all the fabia wheel directory, but couldnt find a special edition with octavia 16" spiders?

Has anyone got a picture of this, as i wouldnt mind doing this to mine.

Few pics on here....looks nice

standard wheels look much much better, unless your gonna go for 17s, best to leave the 16 spiders at home lol

Ta-dah

and willsy they are soooooo much better looking than the standard wheels (even in 16") :p

A ******* to clean though

Gareth_1.8t will be happy to send you some if you ask him im sure, and its low

That is Gareth's LE in the pic i posted

Not sure, His is the one in the rolling road photos

cheers for the pics guys. I havent got the original fabia vrs wheels, ive got 17" ace wheels, which ive never been keen on so was looking for 17" wheels to replace them, but ive been offered a set of 16" spiders for a very good price and just wondered what they looked like.

I did want some TD pro race 1.2 or similar, but im thinking if i can get some standard 16's and some 17's that i want then ive got the choice.

All pics linked and posted are mine!

Pic posted is with the car sat on eibachs, but things have changed now...

I don't know how anyone can prefer the standard 16s to the spiders....

Execpt the red one

so what you reckon guys, 16 or 17" spiders, or something different? I really did want a set of original skoda alloys, incase i do sell the car one day. The spiders do look great on an Le, i think they are nicer than standard wheels, but is it worth holding out for 17's

I think the SE's should have had 16" spiders as standard. Makes it a bit more special IMO.

Matt

going slightly off topic a sec, do the 16" spiders use the same tyres as the standard Fab wheels??

Why not both?

I have spiders for day to day and 17" Porsche Twists coming for the show season

I do want both, some skoda wheels and some 17's in a wheel that i want. Already have 4 new 17" parada 2 tyres.

Just unsure wether to have 16 or 17" spiders.

If you're going to have two sets of wheels - I'd opt (and have opted) for the 16s.

More choice of tyres at cheaper prices, and much more exclusive than the 17" version that everyone else has! :p

yes wheel size is exactly the same as the standard Fabia wheels so 205/45/16 tyres required

I really did a good job converting you!

Have you got 312mm brakes? I love how big the look under the 16"s!

yep

they look big behind the standard wheels but you can't really see them

however they are really on display behind the spiders

Personally I think the thing to do with an LE and spiders would be colour them gold and make yourself a mini Impreza

Although, the offset was different if i remember ???

ET42 or there abouts ?

i used spacers on mine as they looked awful without them.

No worse than standard wheels do

matt

i run mine without spacers and have never thought "Eugh Yuck"

Not in that way, they just sat a bit further in the arches, and didnt look as good as when spaced out.

I know what you mean, i`v been running S3 wheels for a while, now i`v stuck some spiders on, they look like they need some spacing, BUT going from standard wheels to spiders you`d not notice too much

matt

I think i noticed it more as my standards were also spaced, so more exaggerated when i tried them without
