can't make my mind up....

seen loads of pictures of white ones but no silver ones.

does anyone have one? or could someone photoshop a silver fl with anthracite wheels?

My silver vRS estate now has anthracite and picks are on my rebuild thread.

As above from Rob. Check out my motor

that's just made it a harder task of choosing

seems daft that skoda don't offer darker alloys as they look so much nicer.

anyone know the weight of just the alloy (no tyre) if I have to go to spend £220 or so on spraying I might just get a lighter new set to go on

I was also torn between silver or white with the dark wheels.

Main reason I went for white was that I'd had several other silver cars in the past with gunmetal or anthracite wheels so i thought I'd try white for a change.

Also, white saves you 440 quid!

Nobbers car does look good though:

IIRC a 18" zenith weighs 12kg, I assume a neptune would be about the same. To get some high quality lightweight wheels will cost you a lot more than painting your OE rims.. depends on how much you want lightness really. Something like a Neuspeed in 18" only weights 8kg but they are over a grand for a set.

Painting my wheels cost me less than 200 quid.

i was thinking team dynamics 1.2's 9kg in 18x8 in anthracite - about £500 - 600 - cheapest of the light wheels on the market. not sure on looks though on a octavia

would sell the standard 18's - so about the same cost I imagine

Didn't realise 1.2's were that cheap now. Brimma had a set on his diesel wagon, TBH they didn't look great - he took them off.. Light though!

both look very smart - is your car lowered at all?

Both are lowered. Mine is on eibachs with standard dampers, so about a 20mm drop. Rob's is on coilovers so a bigger drop but a little more costly.

I need to assess ground clearance before dropping - I need to drive onto construction sites so grounding is a possibility.

Yes, mine is around -35mm in that pic.

Get silver looks really good and quite rare. Wish I had of gone for that or black instead of white again.
