Hey all

 

I'm looking at a new set of alloys for my mk3 and have come across quite a few aftermarket replicas of Skoda Alloy designs. Has anyone else bought these before?

 

I'm tempted as both the Vega and Xtreme designs have been replicated in 18", rather than 19", which would give a nice compromise between the style and the ride. That said, I did wonder if there was anytihnt o be wary of here? They are often sold without an indication of who the manufacturer is.

 

Cheers in advance

205/55R16 on 6Jx16 ET48 rims would give a nice ride. I wouldn't say the same for 225/40R18, although I guess anything is an improvement on 225/35R19.

Have you ever ordered from the site? If so, how long did it take for delivery?

Skoda made the Vega in 18" as an OEM wheel, so just buy that. Was on the Octavia SportLine and Fabia from memory.

I've never ordered from that site. I just use it for getting information on Skoda rims as they are good at putting photos up.

Very true, it is a good resource for that.
