Since acquiring my VRS 10 months ago I've tried to grow fond of the standard Altair Alloys but in the end they just did not appeal.  I wanted to keep same specification of wheel i.e 19 inch / 7.5 inch width and ET48 and spotted the Becruz wheel on a recent Skoda Publication . This wheel is listed as identical spec. as the Altair (even same weight)  and although I appreciate it's  personal taste , I think they really suit the VRS .  

I agree, it's all a matter of taste. Not wishing to upset VRS owners I've never passed comment on this before, but IMPO the Altair wheels are the ugliest things. I think those Becruz are much more stylish and less likely to date. They appear to be in the same genre as the Perseus Anthracite which I really like on my Octavia Style.

 

 

 

 

 

They're nice wheels and give it a clean look, but for me it softens it a bit too much for a VRS.

As above though, it's a matter of taste and hats off to you modifying your car to your taste, with a decent product.

 

Yes, each to their own and as long as you like them that’s the main thing. But for me it just looks like a bog standard Octavia now rather than a VRS.

Still on the personal taste theme, the psychology is quite interesting. If I were the OP I'd be tempted to remove the vRS badge too 😜 . But I respect that the OP isn't me!

In my younger days I went to considerable lengths to transform my performance cars into innocent looking 'sleepers', way more fun and it surprises more people than advertising what you're driving! Became quite a cult thing at one time, I suspect it still is...

Hopefully I can increase the potential buyer appeal for the the Altair wheels by suggesting that they will make a  'bog standard' Octavia look like a VRS 😊

A better angle ...............

Looks much better from that angle, now I see why you like them👍🏻

Very classy. Similar to the current E class Mercedes wheels, so you're in good company.
