well there on had the hell fitting them tho , fitted all the alloys with adapters then realised the wheels were wobbling . found that the bolds were 3 mil to long so had to file every one down and refit , 3 hours later there on but i have a loud knocking from the front passenger side any one no what this could be ?

Cheers for the pictures! I'm not sure, I think I like it.

Then again, I was undecided on my wheels but I now love them after giving the car a good clean =)

they actually look better in person if that makes sense but the knocking is to bad to drive on

Same as mine mate! Mine look rubbish in photos, but in the flesh they are very head turning =)

Can I ask what coilovers you had, I had Ebay (Poundland) specials and they were rubbish all sorts of noises... switched to AP ones and they are fine!

It's like my dad always says, you do all this stuff that Seat never intended when designing the car and you wonder why there is noises! I laughed, but I suppose it's true! lol!

most mods have a down side my bonnet bra has managed to fade the paint under it . it scrapes over every speed bump in my estate now but the banging is a bit too much . only thing i can think of doing is having a good luck tomo and then adjusting the front coilovers up till hopefully it dont bang

Looks good but there isn't enough stretch on the tyres :)

The knocking will be anti roll bar on driveshaft, you need shorter droplinks as you've gone quite low.

am i also right in thinking that even adjusting coilovers wont effect droplinks as its the size of alloy thats effected it . i have tried lifting them up but still the same awfull knocking
