I think gloss black will make it hard to see they're cupra rims! I'd keep them quite light to show off and rub it in that they're off a Cupra! Maybe dark grey would look better?

BTW Rocky, i had them 205/55 tyres put on and they're fine, just rub on full lock and the car is loads quieter now with bigger profile's!

what your saying is true and it would still look good what ever you do but the silver wheels brake the colour up a bit.
either way it will look good and its upto you what you do.

yeah i know what you mean, cant decide now you two said that lol :)

Thats what i've got nick , Think that was scott's on about aswell :)

cheers alex, ill look on shorly, might even buy them later lol, see if i can get them on and wheels done befor next weekend ;)

How do the locking nuts fit onto spacers? Wouldn't fancy having no locking nuts on!

you bolt the spacer onto the hub, then bolt the wheel onto the spacer, the spacer has 10 holes in it lol but 5 of them are tapped so you can screw the wheel onto it :p

Wow those alloys really transform the car, look fantastic :)

cheers mate! :)

Just been to collect my car from the garage where the wheels were getting done at, had a quick inspection of them befor i left the garage, just about to hand them the money when i noticed a stone chip like chip on one of them, he said leave it with me and ill re-do it today and it should be ready later, abit of a mess around but cant say fairer than that :D on the other hand my spacers arrived just as i got back to my house so hopefully get them put on tonight :)
