Dezent alloys? Any good?

[Chris_a_73]

Hey guys,

After a long search for some after-market alloys, I found these.

Has anyone had an good/bad experiences with Dezent wheels? I believe these would fit, from the measurements given, but if I'm mistaken please tell me


Cheers

Never heard any horror stories and there's a few lads in my local car club with em
on and yer they will fit!

Excellent

My dad (being a car nut...) keeps saying I should hold out to try and get a set of Cupra wheels, but I never see the style I want on sale T_T

Also Mazzerati, I see you have a Cupra backbox. What Cupra is that off? I've been offered a 54 reg Cupra backbox, and wanted to know if it'd actually be possible to fit to mine? Being a 1.2 and possibly having different exhaust pipe diameters?

I know Scott has a 1.2, but wasn't sure if he just has the tip, or the complete backbox?

Also, what does it sound like?

i had a set of dezent alloys they where very very heavy to the other set i had after them!!

 

[mazzerati]

Well it was off a 54 plate cupra lol! Win!
It will fit but you will need to buy a step down pipe. Get one off eBay!
And for the sound there is a video on my readers ride but it's got louder now as it's bedded in! Sound nice tbh not too loud.

 

[Chris_a_73]

Haha excellent!

Yeah, I tried to watch it, but didn't load for some reason? :S

What type of "step down pipe" do I need?

I've found this and this one.

I guess I'd take my car, cupra exhaust and the step down pipe to the garage and ask them to fit it?

 

[Chris_a_73]

Video works now! Just needed to wait a while

Edit: Still waiting

Edit#2: Nope, not working

 

[mazzerati]

To be fair the Cupra wheels are nice, However...
They are REALLY heavy (They appear alot heavier than my old FR 16's)

And they cost a small fortune. For 4 your looking at well over £550-600 new, maybe even more!

 

[Chris_a_73]

Hmmmmmm... Does that include tyres...? Almost quite tempted....lol

 

[Chris_a_73]

What do ya guys reckon? The Dezent's are like £479 or something "with premium" tyres. And I'd probably want to go for good tyres, which adds up to £560 in total...... Bad idea? :/

I'm guessing I should wait?

 

[mazzerati]

Keep looking matey! Bit expensive now tbh innit. Have a look on a few forums like edition 38 forums And wheel w hores! There's plenty better than dezent on them sites available

 

[Chris_a_73]

Haha well I just checked out Edition38 and they all seem to be collectable/show rims, a lot with ridiculous price tags (BBS LM's....2000 Euros...) and Wheel*****s seems to be very expensive or just not right for the Ibiza lol.

I know I'm picky, but I love the Cupra (5 twin spoke, not starfish)/Dezent style alloys!

 

[mazzerati]

There's no such thing as cheap Bbs lm's lol!
There's the odd bargain on there that appears. End of the day it's your preference!

 

[Chris_a_73]

Hah yeah, but it's a shame that there's never any on sale ;P

I'm just hoping some kind soul out there will take pity and donate an immaculate set to me.....

Wishful thinking I know, but a man can always dream!

I may just cope with my current ones.....I'm sure the fact that it's so high, makes my eyes think the alloys are ****... or are they just ****? Like these.....

 

[CJRamze]

Hmmmmmm... Does that include tyres...? Almost quite tempted....lol

No without tyres.

I'm pretty sure they were about £280+ per wheel

 

[mazzerati]

Yours alloys aren't **** mate just get some crazy paint job going on with them
to freshen em up! Paint them sinking centres a crazy colour

 

[Chris_a_73]

Ughh, maybe not thennn. I only WISH I had over a grand to spend on alloys lol.

Hmm, I was thinking about anthracite, what do you reckon? And how would I do it...? Just get a referb company to do it, or DIY?

 

[mazzerati]

Haha don't we all! Just rub them down mask of the areas you want a different colour and spray away but as you don't have spare wheels you could get someone else to do em

 

[Chris_a_73]
