Altea with Mk5 Golf GTi wheels.

[Bogwoppit]

Just photoshopped an image of a Red Altea for a friend as he is thinking of getting some Mk5 Golf GTi wheels for it.
Those people who are running 18" wheels on Altea's, what offset and wheel width are you using please, also what size tyres?

Anyway here are the before and after pics of the image used:

The top wheels look better than the bottom wheels.... I suspect that I got it wrong.... and the bottom is suppose to be pretty how god wanted it to be and not Seat designers...

I was just going by the hidden rear door handles in the quarter light which the Leon has but now that I look at it closer it does look a little to high for a Leon but it definatly isn't a production Altea hence my original comment.

I agree with Tell, the upper wheels look far better.

No they have the Golf Plus for that.

I've got a set of those Monza II wheels on my mk5 (Diesel) Golf. They are the same offset and width as the SEAT equivalent. I always thought they look like they were styled with a SEAT in mind before the VW GTI designers hijacked them for the Golf, as they are very Alfa-ish.

Tell your friend that he should be very wary of replicas as they have polished faces that will corrode badly in crap weather, plus they are wider, heavier and have the wrong offset, so will stick out a bit too far in the arches.
