I found someone who sells this RIM and he told me that they come off the 2017 SKODA OCTAVIA VRS
And I wanted to ask if this year this RIM would have come with this vehicle
Also how do I know it's original?

1. Yes (in the UK market at least)

2. Markings on the inside of the rim. You might be able to find photos of what they should look like online. I'm not sure if there's any/many copies of these wheels about though - certainly not as many as some of the older Audi RS style wheels.

תשמע, אני חי בישראל, 90% ממה שמוכרים פה אומר שזה מקורי, ואז אתה מגלה שזה חיקוי.
תודה רבה על העזרה

אם אתה יכול לעזור לי גם אולי למצוא תמונה שלהם שנמצאים בפנים זה יעזור לי כי אני לא יכול למצוא את זה

Thank you very much for the help

If you can help me also maybe find a picture of them that are inside that would help me because I can't find it.

 

If the rim doesn't have the OEM part number cast into it somewhere (usually on the back) then it's a fake.

 

It looks like the number you are looking for is something like 5E0601025AJ HA7, as shown in the chart below.

Notice that the below alloy rim GEMINI isn't a factory rim because its OEM part number doesn't have the format xxx601xxx. Alloy rims with the format xxx071xxx are from the Skoda accessory catalogue, which are about 60% cheaper than from the usual parts catalogue with the xxx601xxx format. They are often the same alloy rim, except for the different OEM part number cast into the back. Skoda do this so that the alloy rims in their accessory catalogue can compete on price with aftermarket alloy rims.
