VW Alloys to fit Felicia

[Stunts]

Do you reckon that any 4 stud 14/15" VW/Seat fitment alloys would fit my Felicia? I have had a search on the forum and found that Golf MkII wheels fit, but not much more than that. Does anyone know the offset/stud pattern details?

Cheers

Simon

Just found this: Make - Skoda Model - Felicia Year - 94 to 01 PCD - 4x100 Offset - 35 to 45 Bore - 57.1

and also a very useful technical bit here

Quite a lot of availability in this PCD and offset. I'd check the classified section of Edition 38 for starters. You'll find lots of choice.

Of particular note would perhaps be 15 and 16" from the Ibiza Mk3, or perhaps a nice set of BBS RX-II in 15" from the 6N2 Polo GTi ?

A 15" alloy would probably be my preference on the Felicia, and the cross-spoke style of the RX-II would suit perfectly I think...

HTH,

Steve

Cheers you two - I had found that alloy wheel info website during my surfing this afternoon. I do like the BBS alloys but they are a smidge on the expensive side! I am currently keeping an eye on fleabay and have a couple in particular that I'm bidding on.

Cheers

No probs, you're welcome

What sort of budget are you looking at? Thinking on, also have a look at the UK-Polo forum, as most of the wheels coming and going on the classifieds there will be 4x100 and an applicable offset. UK-POLOS.NET : : UK POLO FORUM

IMPORTANT INFO:

the vw centrebore is about 48mm, hence most wont fit the larger bore required on skoda models unless drilled out. aftermarket ones are usually big enough to cope though.

[Wardy]

Hmmm, that's contary to what I've seen before. 57.1 seems to be pretty common on VWs, and VAG in general.

Steve

[Stunts]

I thought all VAG group were 57mm too. The alloy guide above says it is 57.1mm. Are you sure?!

[TeflonTom]

iirc the old skool beetle and karmann ghia etc had a 48mm bore, they also had a bigger pcd too.

but all the later ones use 57.1mm

FFS - I am trying to get in touch with a guy on the Edition 38 forum called Dubland, but the poxy forum won't let me post or PM anyone. He was selling a load of wheels recently and I needed to contact him to find out if he still has any. Can anyone help?

Post a link to the thread and I'll try.

Are you getting an error or anything?

These look like they'll fit and look a good style too - geezer is asking

[bobob]

a lot of spokes to keep clean

i don't particularly like them but it's a matter of personal choice

seems a bit expensive unless perfect with vg tyres

Deffo 57.1 had a lot to do with this recently getting some spigots to fit my Azev wheels on the MK2.

Cheers again. I'll have a butchers Monday when I'm back in work.

I've just bought some 14" VW OEM ones from Ebay. They're 4 x 100 with an ET of 40. I still need to get some tyres though so don't know if they fit. I think they're 7J. What's ET stand for again? I haven't really got a clue what the offset of these wheels is either.

[bobob]

OFFSET (also referred to as 'ET'):

Your car requires a unique offset. Simply this is where the outside of the wheel needs to be in relation to the bodyline of the vehicle, realistically you can go 5-7mm outside these recommendations

The Felicia has an offset of 38

[Royston]

Ray! they should fit then.

[Wardy]

Have you had any contact from him yet?

Steve

[Stunts]

Yep - thanks Wardy, I emailed him back asking what he had but he's not come back to me yet. I have, however, purchased a fine set of 15" multispokes from that Jetta earlier in the post - bought for just over

if you happen to see any other alloys going cheap for the felicia post links here, i could do with ditching the steel wheels on mine, its a pile of **** but a set of wheels should make a difference to the looks.

i got offered a set of 17's that were on a felicia fun for 3250 but not wanting to go that big.

[rigsby]

when i was looking around fot a set of alloys a few years ago i spent an afternoon in a good scrappy. the only ones that will go on the skode hubs are vw items, old 3 series beemer, old rwd vauxhall/manta or aftermarket alloys

BEWARE if you dont get a correct set of bolts/nuts you could end up with loose wheels. A kid at work has just destroyed a
