i've spent the morning cleaning and waxing my fab 1.4 16v x reg. it looks great but would look better with alloys.

i've been looking on net for alloys and tyres package deals but i'm not to sure what size to go for ??

also would my insurance be a lot more (i'm 30 and 9yrs no claims) ?

seen then in Halfords and Motor World so are they easy to fit by yourself or shall i goto a specialist?

thanks

Anything upto 17" will be fine but really if you go that large you need to lower it as it will look really high. Your insurance shouldnt be affected that much you are of a decent age and have a fair whack of no claims behind you (maximum same as me).

How about getting some second hand alloys, some Fabia vRS alloys would look good, allways a few sets going on here as people upgrade. Just about any 5 x 100 VAG wheel will fit.

a mate of a mate is selling some alloys. they 14" and he said they were on a 1999 octavia and will fit Polo's from 2002 onwards.

will these be ok for me ??

Yes but the tyres will be the wrong size.

they come with tyres (recently fitted),so shall i buy ?

How much are they?

i'll find out tomorrow.so all i have to do is remove my old wheels and put the alloys on using the original bolts ?

they vw alloys with the vw caps.can i get skoda caps ?

whats the most i should pay ?

If your going to get the Octavia alloys be aware that your speedo will be incorrect.

I wouldnt pay more that

my wheels/tyres now are 14". i didnt know about the speedo.

why are the tyres wrong ? if they fit the alloys now,will they be to wide for my car?

Octavia tyres are larger in diameter than on the Fabia. This means the rolling radius is greater.

i'll get the tyre size tomorrow.

thanks for the help so far Lummox. i'm new to alloys not am i only thinking of the cost but also the damage it could do to my car and safety.

the tyre sizes are - 175 / 80 R14 88T

what about these ?
