I think they're Leon Cupra alloys he's had refurbed. I was expecting you to get them done all black, but with the white rim, it sets it off amazingly.

Yeah they are 18" Leon Cupra R alloys that I had refurbed in Candy white and gloss black by a friend.

Techie, any chance of a pic of just the wheel nice and close like? I wanna play around a bit, thinking I might get the same set but have a completely different idea on colours. If that's ok with you of course.

I still can't get over how well they actually suit the car mate. Once again, top job!!! Could you also put up a picture of the standard boc wheel? I have an idea for a colour scheme on those too. Appreciated very much.

how did your paint artist friend get the 2 colors perfect . did he spray all white first, then painted the black in. or masked area, which i would think be very difficult , as there is a lot of detail!!!!!!!! please tell.......

That front wheel looks familiar. Hehe, The brakes look great too mate, bet it was easier with them off the car, wish I'd have done that with my rear ones, my hands aren't very steady and I'm very lazy. Great contrast the black and white, gonna be fun keeping her clean.

It rides just fine, handles so much better than before, really flows through corners with confidence. Wheel and tyre combo is also fine, not crashy but firm.

Dropped the front a few turns after work, sitting better at the front, think I need to take the adjusters out of the back to level it up now, I'll give it a try and see what happens.
