Hi,

I've seen some VW Siata 17" alloys and and considering them for a Mk1 Leon pre-facelift shape? (silver 110 TDI, MY2004)

I think they'd suit it myself and here's a pic of some:

and here are the alloys themselves:

Those remind me of the optional SEAT Sport alloys you could get a few years back. Rarely seen too iirc...

Just tried to find them on google but its just page after page of the folk on here!

Hi csd, thanks - I've just had a look on the old 1M Accessories PDF that Muttley found recently:

http://eavto.com.ua/upload/accessories Leon 1M.pdf

and they look the same as number 10 on page 5:

Alloy wheels 7 x 17”
(1M5071492 1ZL)


AKA: SEAT Siata (Top Sport) in the Netherlands, with fitting 7x17 ET38



Hi GMH, cheers, yeah I think they'd look good and are rare

Ok I sussed out the photoshop business :)

Here's a quick mock up of how they'd look:

On reflection, my opinion is that they look like a more subtle version of the 18" Ronal Cupra R/17" FR+ alloys, which is more suitable for the less aggressive looks of the pre-facelift, anyone agree/disagree?

Hi and cheers,

Here's a better pic I've just done, based on Jimski's colour coded silver Leon, with more realistic sized alloys!

Thanks Bret about the Octavia alloys, although I'm not that into them myself, they look a bit too bling for me.

That looks good, I really like those with the pre-FL bumpers etc. :)

A bit different to starfishes but still OEM, nice ;)

Hi and cheers,

Here's a comparison of the same car with Starfishes Vs Siatas:

Btw: Bret, thanks for posting the 6-spokes, but I'm not overly keen, they look like TT alloys as mentioned

Looking at those 2 pics together, the one with Starfishes looks a bit bare without the Cupra bodykit, whereas the Siatas look more 'complete' on the pre-facelift. Thoughts? Opinions?

Leon Cupra:
