On my way to buying rims soon. What would be better.... A set of 5 spoke rims i.e Fox Racing RS5 or Multi-spokes i.e OZ Super Leggera.
I do like the look of a few 5 spoke rims as i want to go a little different but not rubbish looking. cheers.

RS6 style always look good, as do the new RS4 style. There was a pic on here the other day, one of the guys from Ireland. Either way, with that coffee table still hanging out over the rear window, your wheels are going to be rather overshadowed.

4 spokes? :confused: Who makes them?

I'd go 5 spoke. I always think multispokes look a little odd on leons. Dont buy fox racing please. Everyone will just think you've been to halfords.

You've got me thinking now, i really ought to try and sell some of the wheels i've got lying around :think:

What wheels have you got lying around Neil?? Yes thats right, the multi spokes look a bit odd, i think multi's should just be for rally cars like Cosworths etc. I only looked at foxracing as there not too expensive, but then i didnt want them to look like what you said...been to hallfords!

liking the CH's on Sixpots car, they look [B)] but I think you need the LCR bumpers and kit to pull em off as they don't look right on BBS's website.

theres some nice cheaper similar styled wheels out at the mo, the ones I've seen have dark centres and polished steel overlays on the rim. One of em was called a 'Mesh' wheel. Not seen any Leons running rims like that yet so would be original

the new RS4's do look nice, ebay is full of em at the mo

I mean that a really nice set of wheels won't have the same visual impact with that wank spoiler on there.

And I think Legohead is right, the Cupra R bumpers are needed to keep things looking right and in proportion.
