can anyone recommend some 18" alloys for my black leon? it has been lowered. I want a silver alloy but not the chrome look, i dont know what type will look best. I really like Dozers alloys but cant find them on the net anywhere. I also really like Slicks alloys but dont want them in black

they sell a lot of good ones too: RH, AEZ,Schmidt, Ronal,BBS just to name a few
Admittedly they'll cost a dam site more than £600, but then you get what you pay for unless you buy seconhand
these are what you get for £600 or less new:

Dozer wheels are OZ wheels that are no longer made anymore but when they was made they where 1600 without tyres!
£600 and 18" with tyres your looking at a choice of "cheap you dont wanna put the alloys on your car as there made of plastic alloys" or cheap cheap "replica VAG group" wheels.
£600 most of the time WONT get you 18"s with good quality tyres, it will get you cheap wheels with cheap tyres, something i wouldnt put on any car personally.
But thats my opinion on it, dont have to agree with it.

Allan you might as well post the link while your there.. lol
Personally I dont think westlondon will get a set of 18"s anyway at £600, it sounds as he doesnt want a 2nd hand set and whats brand new, and most likely end up with 17" wheels Kei, Wolfrace alike set.

Slick, I agree with you and others, also think the 19's you got for grabs are a bargain and very very nice
Any effect on the handling for the 19's? what wheels are you changing them for?

Handling is improved to be honest as the tyre width is wider e.g. better grip! So its all gains and no disavantages really in my eyes, the only down side which unless your an old man and likes a smooth ride on a fast hatch is the vibration thou the tyres is a little increased due to the small profile on the tyres, but its not massive difference just noticeable on the not so perfect roads.
I've changed to a set of 19"s that allow better clearance on the brakes, got a set of Porka GT3 calipers going on it, and the old ones wasnt very good for clearing them, where the new ones are alot better, once i got the camera sorted I'll take some pics on the new wheels to post up in the forum!

Slicks alloys are in perfect condition and definitely turn a lot of heads for sure. You seriously will not believe how good condition they are. I never seen anyone polish and wax wheels on a regular basis like him. It makes me sick because mine always look so dirty in comparison.

theyre nice benji. I think for light cars black alloys look good and on dark cars light alloys work best.
I think im being drawn towards the new RS6 alloys but also liking the new RS4 alloys as well, Il put a pair on each side !!!
Other than these alloys anything else that would look good guys I know its personnal preference but i think 4-5 spoke alloys would look best in alluminium finish
