Your Rif trims do look good, I'm considering getting some but the price is a bit off putting.

Are they a tight fit or do you intend using cable ties ?

Mine went on on Sunday. They're audi A6 wineglass alloys, refurbed in gloss black by CAS coatings. Gave them a good polish and then seald them up with a couple of coats of AutoGlym EGP. I need to find some proper centre caps now. What ever you do, don't buy any of the cheapies off some random Bulgarian on fleabay.

Thanks.  They're a very good fit, and I've seen quite a few basic model Yetis running them without cable ties so I don't think I'll bother with them.  I got my set from number1forskoda on eBay (the eBay shop for Rainworth Skoda).  They have them listed for £74.99 including postage at the moment which is a good saving on what my local dealer could get them for - click here.

I bought my steels and Hankooks from Rainworths so I thought I'd try them this morning and I got same deal as you £74.99 for trims.

My local dealer quoted £147 which I politely declined.

I put steels on yesterday with VW caddy hubs but did'nt look right so went same way as you.

Dunlop SP  tyres on 16in rims.

Halfords £16 trims with a Skoda sticker (£1 each from eBay)

 

 

Or, you could go the whole hog and get something like this

How come that "monster" truck doesn't leave any tyre tracks??

Easy: helium-filled tyres for ultimate low ground pressure. It's just floating 2mm above the snow! 

My winter wheels went on last weekend. The following is from this time last year, but having just washed the car it looks just like this (minus the roofbox) at present. The wheels are MSW 22s with Nokian 205/55/16 H XL tyres.

 

Where have half of the pictures gone in this thread? Kind of defeats the object not being able to see the winter wheel set-ups :|

I can see them... all?

Put Letti's winter boots on today!

Simple 16" trims from Ebay with the addition of some neat laminated, self adhesive decals.

Summer sandals packed ready for storage!

I like the look of your wheel storage bags, where did you get them.

I got similar bags from the bay of E's , don't remember them being this much though......

Ignore me, must be my computer, if I click over the large white expanses (where I thought the pictures used to be), they appear!

 

I just ordered some genuine Skoda 'tyre warmers' though eB*y as they aren't available through SUK dealers apparently, as shown here:

Also now available from Superskoda,

Fitted my winters yesterday.

The rims and tyres.

With the addition of a set of very cheap Aldi wheel trims because my wife said the naked wheels looked crap!

Just ordered the skoda wheel covers from local dealer £20.83+vat less 10% so £22.50 all in. If anyone is interested the part number is ZGBU000073900, I did find it on this site but quite well hidden.

Here is Marvin newly kitted out in his winter boots (Spectrum alloys with Continental ContiWinterContacts)

For a set of four, just picked them up this afternoon, they look like they will do the job nicely.
