Team GTR - Leon Cupra R

[EL]

Im gonna hate you if they are forces lol

I wanted forces but saw a thread where someone purchased them for a LC but couldn't get them to fit within the arches so had to get rid of them. If they didn't fit the LC then there is no chance on a LCR with those chunky brembo brakes

Iv seen them on a red LCR before but they were the 8.5 with no concave to em at all. Are they fighters?? im getting impatient now ha ha

Fair do's. Those forces need to have concave in my opinion as that's when they look super hot. The wheels I have gone for don't have concave to them. Where I am not sitting uber low I wanted to ensure I keep the wheels sitting within the arches to make them look good

Im sure they will look good bud, agree with you though, some rota wheels need to have concave to make em look good. Im still looking into them XXR's for the summer

Always a good laugh. Plenty of banter, sweet rides, interesting results on the rollers, plenty of pics and most importantly the BBQ

Cheap-ass tuning mate

Nah the other two are chilling on the other side

You need to leave those hitch hikers in the boot, look at the stance on that rear wheel, no more tractor height

Awesome delivery though mate, can't wait to see this

So here we go, my new wheels. Went for the Rota Gravel wheels in Gunmetal, or as they refer to it as Gun Metallic. They are 18x8 5x100 ET48. I wanted the ET44 versions as then I could have reused my current spacers but now I might have to get thicker ones. Well see once I trial fit them.

Absolute chuffed with them and want to get them on ASAP. Going to stick to the plan though and wait for the crap weather to clear up and apply the wheel wax/sealant to these before putting them on.

Here are some pics from my iPhone, really don't do them justice

 

[Murdered LCR]

Look nice mate what spacers are you using at the min ?

 

[EL]

Cheers mate. At the moment I have 12mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers at the rear. Might have to bring the 15's to the front and run thicker at ones. Will do a test fit and see how it goes. I went for these as I can see them being a easier fit than the concave style Rota wheels

 

[Ronin225]

Look awesome mate, i think they'll suit the leon well

 

[Murdered LCR]

They should be ok mate et38 up front with the 12mm then et33 rear depends how you want them sitting if its poke or flush ,

Cheers buddy, as soon as I photoshopped them onto a pic of my car I knew I wanted them

They should be ok mate et38 up front with the 12mm then et33 rear depends how you want them sitting if its poke or flush ,

That's what I'm thinking, should be ok but until I trial fit them you just never know. Want to keep them within the arches for a more flush look as opposed to poking out
