Mk2 LEON - Which Alloys?

[Rangers]

Hi there this is my first thread so il get to the point quite quickly..
I bought a 58 reg leon brand new from a seat dealer, getting full btcc kit fitted before I pick it up this monday, but it will still have the bog standard 16" alloys and in anyone's book 16" with this bodykit just wont look right...

I've got 17" wolfrace hybrids, so I wont have to spend money on them but I aint sure if 17"s are big enough? anyone got pics of these alloys on their leon?

Many people have told me to get the rs4 replica's (18 or 19"s), gona cost a good £600-700 for them+non budget tyes..

The wolfrace hybrids below:

Any thoughts?

Cheers..

The Aero kit or the wheels?



For what its worth, my opinion is that 17's are too small. See this car as an example;

Ditto what Nick said, or bbs like Nicks, I would personally stick to Seat wheels will much better imo, and the used ones with tyres that nick linked to will look right on your car definitely and you could sell on easily in the future if you wish

I see..those 17s look awful, tall tyre walls make me
I'm also liking the last set of alloys - Whats the actual name? I know its a BBS ...something,very similar to rs4's.

Woot thanks!

BBS wheels for the win. Best looking aftermarket wheels for the leon IMO.

BBS Seat Alloys for me. My other choice would be a set of RS4 replicas but it seems that everyone has those now.

Thanks for the tips.

 

[leoncp11]

the aerokit looks better with big wheels 18s or bigger
the trouble with 19s is the extra costs

Agreed

These are nice with the Aero kit....

 

[nathan1997]

first and only choice would be BBS seat 18 for me

 

[Rangers]

oo someone else from Dumbarton! il keep an eye out for your white cupra and post on the "spotted" section.
I really do like the BBS seat sport 18"s myself but at £142 per alloy/tyre, least I hope that price includes the tyres..Doesnt say in description on official seat website.
I shall post pics of it before and after I change the alloys, 3 days to go.

 

[CupraSport]

That will be without tyres I'm afraid....

 

[Carr20vt]

I bought these for 400notes off ebay:

Second hand OEM Cupra alloys might be worth a try.

 

[Rangers]

WOW thanks! black looks sick - £142 for only the alloy! ouch a bit
