Hi all,

finally got my grubby hands on a TSI vRS.

 

Already need to start saving up for winter wheels/tyres, and kind of partial to factory wheels, so got me thinking...

 

...anyone fitted 18" Neptunes on a O3 vRS?

 

The PCD and ET look identical to O3.

 

Thanks!

 

 

I'm considering VW Visions for mine as there's an EBay seller doing them for £450/set at the moment, but put off a little by the extra width being 8J as opposed to 7.5J. Also like the black Neptune's but haven't been able to find any decent pics of them on the car.

I think most current and previous gen A3/Leon/Golf/Octavia alloys are cross compatible and have similar offsets but best to check before parting with money! If going down a size for winter wheels then there needs to be sufficient clearance over the brakes.

Do you know what the ET of the Neptunes is?

Neptunes are exactly the same as the 18's for O3: ET51.

As @fatzy said, ET is (as is PCD) identical to current O3 18" choices, say the Gemini's. What puzzles me, however, and why I started this topic, is the fact that if you go to the Skoda e-shop, selecting Octavia 3 does not produce these wheels in the list - it says they are only compatible with Octavia 2.

 

So couldn't figure out if it was something on the mechanical side, or just Skoda saying "these were built for the O2, you should not put them on the O3".

The Neptunes are delivered as standard or option for O2. Skoda (as well as all car manufacturers) renew their rim programes and change designs and styles for different versions and face lifts. Even so, the rims are interchangeable, in fact all rims for Oct2, Oct3, Yeti and Superb are interchangeable. The only speciality I know of is that vRS requires min. 17" (I think) to fit over the brake disks. I have Yeti-rims myself for my Oct3.
