They look like 19s

So the wheels in all the photos - are they the standard 17s or they one of the optional sets? I suspect they are one of the optional sets i.e. the photos you are seeing has extras which bump up the price

They are too big to be 17's. Press shots always have a few options on there.

I liked how they teased the 19in wheels on the Rapid Sport concept a couple of weeks ago:

Thought id seen them before but couldn't work out where!

The new Rs looks nice,but where is the new signature colour everyone is talking about? It looks very nice even tho the spoiler looks cheap.

The wheels on the blue one are different to the white, I think.

Blue has thinner more U shaped sections compared to the more rounded D shaped ones on the white.

The car looks great not sure how people can tell just from pictures that the bumper looks cheap. Anyways they will surely iron out many details when the time comes for the facelift which in my opinion will probably be the correct time to buy one.

He said "Spoiler looks cheap" not bumper and i tend to agree the MKII Spoiler is better more 'unique' but overall the new MKIII VRS is better than i expected.

Looks cheap from the large swath of black plastic at the front. Though I do like the front end.

Excuse my English. I meant spoiler, not bumper.

Estate looks amazing...

I`'ll second that. Not overly impressed yet with the hatch but like everything else it will grow on me. Just bought a 2010 vrs cr tdi less than a week ago so still mesmerized with that. Probably why.

Notice its got the radar in the lower bumper.... yup included is Adaptive Cruise Assistant according to the release statement

IMO its poor that the most expensive model does not come with keyless now. This is becoming common place in cheaper cars

These are my thoughts...

Blue hatch has an optional 18''.

White estate has an optional 19''.

Standards are 17''.

17'' and 18'' tyres will probably come as 225/40(18)-45(17)

That leaves 19'' 235/35?

Will be interesting to see what it looks like on standard wheels as the wheels can transform a car from looking very nondescript and run of the mill to setting it off a treat

From their press release....

The new Octavia vRS drives on the series standard ‘Dorado’ 17” light alloys fitted with 225/45 tyres. Then there are the optional 18” ‘Gemini’ and ‘Pictoris’ alloys (each for 225/40 tyres). Two colours are available for the ‘Gemini’: silver und anthracite. Anyone who appreciates ultra-sporty wheels will love ŠKODA’s accessories for the Octavia vRS and there are yet more treats in store like the ‘Xtrem’ 19” light alloys in black.

So I think they are the two versions of 18" wheels shown, and 19" yet to come.

Pretty sure the ones on the estate are the 19in wheels. They are the same as on the Rapid Sport concept and they are 19s.

Could be. There aren't pics of the two cars from the same angle to do an exact comparison.

They do look good though.

I Had almost made my mind up that my next car in a couple of years time would be trading the Blackline in for an Audi A5 coupe. However this has knocked me for six if i can get a good deal on the extra's i might be trading up for one of these early instead. Depends on the deals they offer though i would want the lot thrown in for £22.5k.

So. My guess is..

"DORADO"

"GEMINI"

They are all pretty vulgar. :(

Compared to Neptunes they are. But isn't that OK?

IDepends on the deals they offer though i would want the lot thrown in for £22.5k.

Go and spec up a Golf GTI if you want a reality check!

This could be the next generation steering wheel.....:

That's the steering wheel for the 'RED' interior option.

We can prosume what it will look like for the 'GREY' option.
