Hi, 2 of the alloys on my 2014 Octavia VRS Estate have suddenly become very corroded (white corrosion), as have all centre caps. This has only just happened over the winter and 2 in particular look awful.

I'm thinking of replacing the 2 wheels but I can't confirm the part number for the 18" Gemini alloys for my model. 

I've found what I think are the correct wheels on Ebay but at £150 each for brand new OE wheels they seem too cheap to be true, even if it looks like a Skoda dealership.....

Can anyone confirm the correct part number for these wheels on my model?

 

Much appreciated.

Not sure, but think you're looking for 5E0 601 025

 

Up until a year or so ago they were £200 new, so I don't think £150 is too far out now.

Found the photo I was looking for

why not just get them refurbished?  Cheaper and potentially better finish?

The OEM wheels and the ones that are still manufactured for VW Group but sold aftermarket are usually almost the same part number.

 

Those in the link should be fine then, just seemed a great price for brand new compared to others on ebay. 

The seller looks legit 🤞

My wheels are already refurbished 3 years ago. I'm assuming that's now what's caused the corrosion where some of the lacquer has been chipped. They can't be refurbished again as there's not enough face left on them....

The seller is Horton Skoda Lincoln, totally legit.

Normal price for the Gemini at Hortons is £216.00, so might be worth asking why they are cheaper than those advertised on their main site. https://www.theskodashop.co.uk/products/alloy-wheel-gemini-18-for-octavia-iii-anthracite?_pos=2&_sid=2411b1bd6&_ss=r

Good spot, I'll get in touch with them. Thanks. 

The obvious difference is the £150 price is on Ebay and with free delivery.

Best take advantage of using Ebay IMO.
