yeah they are a bit, thats why i liek them as i do liek the bbs wheels but cant afford them!! where as these are a lot more affordable.

dont think they wud happen any time soon as they arent a priority for me, more of a 'would like' than want/need them. would need to get coilovers at the same time i got the wheels aswell so i get the look im looking for

Coilovers first then wheels!
You have nice wheels, you'll look identical to rash for a while but that's not a bad thing!

yeah, thats my problem!! i love rash's car, is another look i wud love to go for, but withhis car being the exact same as mine, gonna try something different

could be interesting if me and rash where at a meet, could find myself getting confused as to whos car mine!! :p

how much are coilovers for an ibiza as i have no idea?

EDIT: the other problem i have is i dont have a clue whether or not they would fit over my brakes!! they do the offset andpcd for an ibiza, but doesnt say if they would fit a cupra!! if they dont, im buggered

have got another idea for my wheels, but havent got any pics at the mo as im at work, will have to stick them up when i get home, but would mean me keeping the standard wheels

FK are 450 ish, KW about 550 and Eibach about 600+ iirc

Fitting and tracking another 200 ish

I'd say coilovers first, save up for wheels in summer??

I have the supermesh and they are nice wheels but the lacure on the rims gets stone chips and then starts corroding underneath.

HAd mine redone in gloss black this time last year and the rims are starting to go again. Going to get them polished and left bare metal now.

wheels look lovely mate!!! can remember your post in the pictures forum of your photos with the clio! i genuinely thought they where porsche wheels :whistle:

they do look good though, am still gonna consider them. shame about what you said the lip corroding away. woudnlt mind seeing the pics after you have had the wheels re-done to see what they are like. if you dont midn me asking (PM me if you wud rather) where did u get them from and how much did you pay for them?

this is my other option i am thinking about going for with the wheels. have the spokes sprayed black, and the lip sprayed red heres a pic...

isnt the bets picture coz my car is so bright, but i would get the wheels sprayed the same black as what colour the ibiza is so it all matches. i wud then go down the route of getting black lights, and poss tinted windows, sort of stealth/kinght rider look without the red leds!!

Somone did a photoshop of those wheels once, check thread in gallery mate, they look better with just a red lip/darker grey.

Not so keen on most of the wheel in red!

could just do the outer lip in red and the inner bit black? wud be a lot less red.

i based it on that black golf r-gti that was in the vw section a while ago, liked the look of it so got my mate to throw something together for me

They look spot on! Reminds me of the American Golf GTI conept cars that have been arround recently.

Got my wheels from wheelworx in the midlands originally for £625 but that was a couple of years ago not long after they came out their cheaper now, also spent £200 getting them refurbed, would like to change them but they look good and suit the car so its a hard choice as to what else to get?

Hi,
Wheels above might look a bit small on the car, my mate put some very similar on his polo (17") and they look like there 15"!!.
Ive been looking at Keskin Tuning, especially the KT4 New Racer for my Ibiza. they do the KT4 in all different finishes too, the ones with the black centre would look slick on your car mate.

alright zenith, i no what you mean about them prob looking a bit small, but im after a euro look for my ibiza so for me, that wouldnt really be a problem.

im not a fan of the black centre wheels, i did like the old black wheels with polished lip, but it hsa been over done as every corsa, clio, and saxo has that style wheel on their car now

where about s where you looknig at the keskin wheels? on dubmeister??
