18”s on Cupra ST?

[Loony R]

Heyup!
Had my magnetic grey Cupra ST for a little bit now and I’ve always thought the std 19’s are too big for it? Maybe it’s the diamond cut that stands out or something I dunno?? I can’t help but think 18’s would suit it better also it’d definitely ride better that’s a given.
I just need some inspiration or thoughts on what other people have found?
I normally go for concave styles and kinda know what I want, but I’m really struggling with this car haha
Cheers.

I’ve put 18-inch VW Cadiz alloys on my Cupra hatch. Don’t look out of place at all.

I have been thinking of going down the OEM route?
Anyone got any side on pics of ST’s on 18’s?
cheers

I may be wrong, but afaik with OEM 18” Seat wheels on Cupras you need to run spacers otherwise the alloys can’t clear the callipers?
Sure I’d seen a few folks on here running smaller rims in the winter who’d said unless you go for wheels with a different offset you have clearance issues

Yeah I’ve noticed that in the past with similar VAG stuff.
