Im not sure how much they cost but try getting the Laura RS rims from your Skoda dealership. No other rims suit the Laura more and I guess they would be of much better quality than other rims available in the market.

Yeah, they quoted 50k for a set of 4 15". That works out to 12.5k per rim for a 15" so I expect the 16" to be around 15k or so minimum.

Post Alloys for Skoda Laura

Hey Guys,

I'm lookin for a "good" Set of alloys and tyres for my 08 Laura, wanna upgrade from 16" to 17"....would request anybody to post pics of summin similar they've already carried out or any recommendations that you might have would be much appreciated....can always google for the pics...i have a preference for summin with a lip

BTW the current tyres are the stock 205's 16" cant remember the profile though so prob lookin to go to a 225 17" and would like to know what the apt profile would be???

Dont have a budget in mind but not lookin to sell the car anytime soon so probably can justify a "long term investment"

At the same time dont wanna sell the car to buy wheels so lets not be recommending anything like some limited edition Kahn's which a got a quote for about (hold your breath) 98000/wheel (1200 pounds) and thats without tyres

Boom
