Will do, I currently have them on the Mk II coupled with Koni FDS, they're pretty firm, so I'm not gonna fit em to the Mk III, just the springs, going for comfort rather than handling this time round!Originally Posted by 99Reza
GTR27, love those wheels on the candy, they look tough as!

I love the concave look. Even with all my spending on trinkets, if I bought those straight away, the wife may cut my testicles off.... But $799 USD seems pretty good for a decent set of rims. Just finding out if 8.5" in 35 or 45 et will be OK on the front of the Octavia. I know the rears will be fine.

8.5" ET35 will be quite "pokey" on the front unless they have added another 18mm extra bulge to the front guards.
I had 8" ET35 on the MK2 and they stuck out beyond the front guards by about 6-10mm. Rears were perfect

Yeah the fronts I was thinking et45, and the rears et35. I know on the rs, you could damn near get away with 9.5" rears, based on the wheel space thread on briskoda. But I think that large a increase in width would be illegal

Is that $799 for a set of 4 rims or $799 per rim? Love the VMR710s in hyper silver. And if it's $799 for a set of 4 then that's a bargain IMO.

I thought it was for a set. There is an old thread on vww where they had a special, with the rims and shipping for $899.....
There is another brand that looks almost identical with 8" instead of 8.5".... Might be a better fit on the Octavia. I'll wait and see though what briskoda guys say. Won't be buying anything for a little while anyway.

Is that shipping to oz? That's a damn good price if it is!!! I also like it now you can order differing offsets for the fronts and rears. Wish my alloys (arriving next week) allowed for this.

I need to stop looking at that site. 8" I could probably out the stock 225s on....... So really it would be rim costs alone....

225/40r18 will fit up to a 9" rim (even more if you're willing to exceed the manufacturer's recommendation).
How are those VMR rims for weight?
