Ah right - knew there wasn't something quite right, as I didn't recognise them as VW OEM/accessory wheels - and I've seen a few 5x100 wheels

Well if Mk4 Golf centres fit, from a proper VW wheel, then they'll be 56mm. So std Skoda caps from the OEM vRS alloys etc should go on fine

If you've got one/some to try, then perfect. If you don't try, you won't know

What make are they then?

There ACE 130's, originally would have had a polished lip but they've been refurbed since then so there all silver.
