These are my favourite 16" alloy rims for the Skoda Octavia MK3

The best part of all, is that they take the world's most popular car tyre size, the 205/55R16...which means loads of choice and low prices for replacement tyres.

I really like the momo brand. What do you think as far as momo quality goes

These OEM rims have a specification of 6Jx16 ET48 5/112 57.1. Skoda call them STAR

They are my second favourite 16" alloy rim for the Skoda Octavia MK3. The beauty of these rims is that they are only 6J wide so the tyre's sidewalls bulge out more which better protects the rim from kerbing damage. The narrower 6J rim compared to 6.5J rims also improves the ride comfort as the sidewalls flex more easily on narrower rims.

 

The good thing is you can get a matching steel spare rim in this specification

I expect the Momo rims are just the same quality as most other aftermarket alloy rims, ie. cheap cast aluminium. It's much better to stick to OEM part numbers. Then you can easily get a single replacement if in the future an alloy rim gets badly kerbed or potholed. You can also sell them easily at a good price. It's easy for buyers to search and find OEM alloy rims because they all have an OEM part number cast onto the back of them. Also, insurance companies tend to be happier (and premiums lower) if you keep to original Skoda parts.

You have been extremely helpful and informative. Thank you very much I will take all this info under serious consideration. 

Hi.

If you have any issues with insurance at all for a change of wheels then please feel free to drop me a line.

Regards,

Dan.

No there is not going to be any insurance problems. I am just worried about the correct offset for the momo revenge evo wheels. It flaxuates and I don't know what to do . Is it 40 42 sometimes I see 48. I want to buy the 16 inch size. I got the mk3 2013 octavia. If you can give me any directions it will be greatly appreciated.
