Help! Need a new wheel.
Options
Wheel rim out of shape after I failed to avoid a stone in the road. Skoda fabia hatchback SE TSI 95PS.
I think it was manufactured in 2017 but registered in 2018.
the letters on the inside of the wheel rim are 6JX 15 H2 ET 38 365.
According to eBay it matches this, but the hub cap is different. Which doesn’t bother me, I just wanted to check that that’s a cosmetic difference and not an indication that it won’t fit my car.

If anyone is able to confirm, I’m buying what I need I would be grateful. I have a tendency to overthink these things!

Alloy wheeels don’t have hub caps, can you upload a picture of the existing wheel?1

This is what’s on at the moment.The markings inside were given to me by the garage when they put the new tyre on.
The ones that look like my tyre on eBay have different markings hence my confusion.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

6J is the width of the rim and the shape of the bead, the bit the tyre sits in.
15 is the diameter of the rim
ET38 is the offset, the distance between the centreline of the rim and the hub mounting face.
If they're all the same, it's functionally identical.
If you mean the badge in the centre cap is different - it just pushes out, so you can swap them over.1 -
Drop this company a line

The link to ebay and your photo are not the same wheel, its a different alloy altogether. The part number for the wheel will be stamped on the inside of the wheel itself.
Yours looks more like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176643177620?_trksid=p2332490.c101224.m-1 but you need the part number to confirm.0 -

I have no clue where I would find the part number anywhere else.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Take a picture of all of the different stampings on the inside of the wheel. One will be the part number, the others are the configuration of the wheel such as offset, width etc. The others will be on many of the wheels as they are common (they have to be for the wheel to fit) but do not tell you the style of wheel which is the part number. Looks like Skoda part numbers for the wheels start 6V0601------ ending in a letter
The one I linked to is:
15" Rim which matches yours
H2 rim profile which matches
Width of 6J which matches
Offset of ET38 which matches
Neither actually say the stud pattern.
Both are equally important. One for it to fit and the other for it to match.

In the 2nd ebay one linked above, the part number is stamped on the rear of one of the 'spokes'1
