Any Good FR/Cupra alloy alternatives?

[Veyron]

Hi, i have got a 1.2 S (i know its all i could afford to insure since im 17) but was wondering if theres any alternative alloys in FR Style or Cupra style that i can pick up cheaper than the £200 odd that apparently seat wants per wheel? Thanks

Also i'm not sure whether to just go for 16" because the wheelaraches are so small and i dont want to mess up the handling too much, what do you reckon? Thanks

They look really nice but i have a feeling they will be just as much as the Ibiza Cupra / FR ones ?

I bought these for £120 from ebay... try searching for "seat alloys" "ibiza alloys" etc in ebay. Lots of different styles of alloys available in 5x100 fitment!

How big do you reckon i could go without it been too tight? The wheel arches seem really small :

Thanks

17's is as high as you want to go otherwise you'll have scrubbing.

 

[Veyron]

Thanks, 17's it is then but that still seems big considering its most likely got 14's on now?

also search for leon FR+ alloys they're virtually the same as the ibiza cupra alloys

Yeah , i'll take a look thanks but i dont seem to see any full sets on ebay when i search Ibiza Alloys, or seat alloys. Its just usually one on its own.

They look pretty nice and subtle, not too over the top, ill check on ebay. Thanks

Heeey. I'm in the same situation myself, looking for some alloys. The Mk4 is 5 spokes, correct? What width, offset, etc should we be looking for? 16", 5x100?

And those are very nice. How much did you pay for them, if you don't mind me asking?

The car isnt his. They are MK4 Ibiza Sport alloys, TBH dont see many of them on Ebay when i have looked for facelift FR ones.

Is it possible to get replicas that are made by a specialist alloy company like how they sell Audi RS4 and R8 Replicas?

Is it only Chrome alloys which get damaged in the winter?
