Hey, 

 

Forgive me if this has been asked before, I've done a quick search and couldn't find a result :)

 

Does anyone know if you can buy official alloys skoda alloy wheels to fit a MKIII Superb...??

 

I am a picky bugger but I've got my eye on a lovely 65 plate SE L Executive,

 

It's in the right colour and spec but I was considering changing the wheels to 19inch Phoenix alloys as I prefer the look...

 

I am just wanting to get a feel for how much it would cost,,its not like it would be a deal breaker but I was just musing the though to myself out of pure curiosity.

 

I've found this site

 

http://eshop.skoda-auto.com/cz/en/b2c/rims

 

Seems like a good reputable seller but I am not quite sure if they would post internationally...certainly their delivery details don;t mention it,, just to local Czech address's ..

 

I am sure a main dealer would sell me some but I reckon they would add on a few bucks...strange thing is that as an upgrade they appear to be around £650, but I bet 2 wheels would cost that to 'retro'fit so to speak..

 

Any help is welcome.. .:).

That website is Skoda's own parts shop, so yes reputable...lol

 

Any dealer will give you a quote for the required type, they are usually around £200 plus a tyre, so usually over £1k for a change. A dealer might do you a deal though if you want to buy his car, he might play ball and change some for you in the deal.

 

The factory upgrade is cheaper as they already have the standard wheels to offset the cost of the upgrade against.

 

Superskoda also sell them, many on here buy parts from them, they seem fairly reputable, still in Czech Republic, but they do post europe wide.

I've used Eskoda Shop http://www.eskoda-shop.cz shipping for a single wheel is €36.00 to the UK, they are very quick and you can pay by PayPal.

Please be aware that if you buy Skoda wheels through the factory or standard parts they are usually much more expensive than buying through the dealers accessories catalogue.

My example (I know it is for SII) parts, wheel approaching £390, accessories catalogue £178 after negotiations.

Hiya,

 

Thanks for the replies, all very interesting... Just had a chat with a Skoda Parts depart and they have given me the following prices

 

Pheonix - £460 each 
Trinity - £250 each
Supernova - £249 each

 

Obviously there is some haggling to do...

 

Question is I could get the equivalent VW wheels for a cheaper price and change the center caps, however.....I am confused

 

The wheels are 8j 19's  sat on 235/40 R19 W tyres

 

Yet when I check websites for compatibility they almost always say that they will not fit the Superb MKIII but will fit the Skoda MKII, which is interesting as posts on here say they are the same in terms of wheel compatibility.

 

I always thought wheels from the VW group or aftermarket were totally interchangeable as long as the  (x)J figures was the same and the pattern is the same...

 

For Example....purely doing a quick search on the dreaded FleaBay

Both are 8J 19's .... they would fit surely as they are right 5 stud pattern.

 

 

Though I really like these

The supernova's and the conversion from CZK > £  is £148  which is a lot cheaper than from Skoda UK..

 

I know people in the Czech Republic that I can ship them to and then ship them to the UK, as they are part of the EU there will be no duty to pay..

 

Happy Days

 

 

Thoughts ??..

 

 

 

 

Its not just a question of diameter and width, the most important dimension is known as "ET" which determines the amount that the wheel sticks out from the hub, the factory fit 19" wheels for a Superb 3 have an ET of 44.

  

I can vouch for http://www.eskoda-shop.cz I purchased a single Anthracite Phoenix 8Jx19" for £275.00 shipped, which is a huge saving over the £461.44 (inc) I was quoted by a Skoda dealer, it was a no brainer what to do for me :) 

 

And it was shipped really quickly to!

I support Prykey's assertion: "ET" stands for German "Einpresstiefe" ('insertion depth' or 'offset').

 

When we want to buy alloy wheels here in Switzerland, we not only have to get diameter and width as well as bolt pattern, we also are not allowed to choose an ET that would have the rims + tyres extending beyond the bodywork. That is a big "no-no" here. Added to that, the rolling circumference of the chosen tyre must be within a small percentage of the factory value otherwise your speedometer will read a false value which means your vehicle is not roadworthy!

 

You have to take your car to the local vehicle test center to get it approved. It will be driven down a test road with a calibrated radar and large digital display. The tester drives at constant speedometer reading of 60 km/h and the digital radar display must not vary more than a few km/h.

The tester also tries full lock (left and right, as far as the steering wheel will go) and is driven in circles to compress the suspension and deform the tyre. If the tyre does not touch the bodywork or wheel arch inside or out at any time, then this test was successful. When approved, the new rims and tyres are entered in the vehicle registration document ("grey card"). 

 

Try Googling "wheel rim offset et explanation". There are some nice illustrations of wheel offset, including photos on this site:

I hope this was an interesting insight into Swiss roadworthiness testing!
