I had a set lying about that are now on my Mother's new Fabia as it's winter wheels.
She prefers them to the standard Fabia 5 spoke wheels.

They are a decent, strong, light wheel.
Only 6" wide though.

I don't use the flat centre caps, just buffed off all the casting marks etc and use a standard VAG centre cap.
