Anteres Alloys

Confused....

Skoda Felicia 13" Alloys:

Alloys on my 360 from a 440CD:

To me these look identical apart from 13" to 14".. which I find very weird. They're also 4x100 fitment on the felicia.

HAHA... not a Felicia no.. its predecessor the Favorit ;) Pure Bertone design :P

I'm sensing some severe Skoda hating here ;) To get a third Favorit after owning two other cars surely must show something :P

Sorry, but I don't like those rims on a 300, they are to "soft"... (or a 300 is to "square-ish" :mrgreen: )

They're not the perfect match for a 300 no, but they were cheap at the time, and in very good condition - hence the reason i snapped them up. Anyway - by far an improvement over bloody stock GLT rims! :D

I like original parts... I like the older type of GLT rims way better than the new ones... (as you've obviously noticed)

The original Mk2 GLT alloys can look good on a mk2 glt, in the right colour.. particularly metallics.

It has to be said though, that the late GLT wheels are god damn awful - I've seen nicer looking steelies. Original or not, you cannot deny their hideousness :D
