Found them here: http://www.vwspeed.co.uk/volkswagen...Inch_Dotz_Roadster_5x112_Alloys-2208-242.html

 

[RobsCupra]

I had a set of these a few years back and if memory serves, they're not a lightweight wheel at all and are considerably heavier than TD 1.2s.

Could be wrong though.... I'm getting old and my memory is failing....

would have htought the 8" wide would have suited the Cupra better?

Just weighed one, 9.65kg.. Tyres have arrived, but due to the erm unique way Royal Mail 48 works, only 2 wheels the other 2 will arrive tomorrow...

 

[delboyuk2005uk]

will these fit my 18" FR alloys then?

So these are a bargian to get now and store them until I need them?

Also how much are the F1's people talking about?

think their £108 for 225/40/18 from same place. will be getting 2 of these very shortly.

 

[delboyuk2005uk]

They're currently at the bargain price of £88 per tyre for 225/40/18.

Anyone thats had these will tell you they're a great tyre.

I've just ordered 4!

well they say this above?

 

[delboyuk2005uk]

will it also be ok to have 2 of these on the front and keep the p zeros on back?

Or will this mess everything up and I will need 4 of the same tyre?

 

[delboyuk2005uk]

come on guys should these be snapped up before the offer runs out?

 

[alx_chung]

Yes buy them, there are a few of us who run these and can't say anything bad about them (they come highly recommended on other forums too)
I would put the new tyres on the back and put the old ones on the front. By having 2 tyres different will not affect things.

Why would you put these on the back and the pzeros on the front?

Thought you would put these on the front for better grip?

Grip is just as important for the rear as you dont want the back end sliding out.

mine are on the back and my pirelli are on the front , back has loads more grip now and its making the fonts work harder , its the only way to wear them down so i can get new ones

 

[delboyuk2005uk]

yeh but I dont wanna wear em down.

So putting on the front is just as good huh?
