[bandit77]

Got my new wheels last week from wheelbase... RS4 replicas in the darker anthracite colour. i think they look pretty good for 550 quid well happy

 

[Snoopie]

[Triple D]

[woodyfr]

They look real nice. Did you noice any loss of MPG or power upgrading in wheels size?

Didn't notice any difference at all, handling etc seems the same. with my last wheels (Azev a's) i did notice as i think they were quite heavy.

Very nice, you got it lowered too?

Yeah its been lowered on koni shocks and ebach springs... i think lol. cant quite remember what went on

 

[RobM]

Looks superb! One of my favourite wheels at the moment for the Leon

 

[WeeJase]

550 with tyres?
17's or 18's?

 

[bandit77]

thanks for the comments guys i had some Azev A's before these that id bought off ebay, and they were never right, then i lowered my car and the 2 post ramp on 1 :S which didn't help things so just glad ive managed to save up for some more lol i liked the oem look of them 2.

So long as you have 225/40 R18's on they will be roundabout the same overall diameter as standard LCT wheels.

So at 100 mph on the speedo, you'd actually be doing less than 1 mph more.

this program is really easy and useful : tyre speed converter

I noticed my fuel consumption went up, but that might be due to the tyres being wider than the 205/55 R16's I had as standard and/or the rubber having more rolling resistance.

They really suit the cars aggressive look! They look spot on mate!

As far as im aware its the same rolling radius so it shud be the same its just the profile thats changed. the standard wheels/tyres were 225/45/17s i think on mine

they look smart, i was gonna get a set of genuine audi ones for my cupra r , but they are a bitch to get on people on here said ....

 

[LeedsLeon]

there is a difference, but it is so tiny you'd never really notice it at all. Less than 15mm around the circumference

The PCD is different so they wont fit straight on if you go for genuine wheels. That's why 99% of 'Audi' wheels you see on Leons are replicas.
