| Wheels for a Octavia Classic Hi, I bought a 2001 Dynamic Blue Octavia 1.4 Classic last Monday. I am looking to replace the steel wheels with alloys. I really like the vRS alloys. Can you buy these and will they fit on the higher sitting Classic? If I can get them is it possible to simulate the green brake mechanism that you can see through the vRS alloys? |

| It should be possible to simulate the green vrs calipers, but does the classic have discs all round??? My TDI has had the calipers painted green and they do look the part, but im afraid i can't tell you what paint was used, as it was done before i bought it. JD

| Oh dear, I have a ful set of Elegance Alloy wheels awaiting a new owner and I'll accept Ł100. They are like brand new; no scuffs etc, bare wheels only; no tyres etc 7.5x16 inches; perfect fit for Octy's with 205/55/16 tyres. I'll even take offers to get some garage space; so don't be shy! Oh, and they are a lot easier to clean than the vRS ones!!

| Alloys Quote:
They are the bog standard alloys fitted to the TDi Elegance Octy; just go for a quick walk you should find one sitting around; if not I'll take a photo and try to post it. I'm in Soggy Cumbria cheers
