View Full Version : Leon/Toledo TDI owners ~ 16" alloys
Just drawing your attention to the gent selling 16" Audi A3 5-spokes in the "for sale" section (in case you hadn't spotted it) ~ might look nice on a Leon (?)

Nice one mate!
Post some piccies when you get a chance, and yeah ~ you should be able to get some SEAT centres.
My TDI with 16's is now on Gallery 8 ~ looks better than a std UK Cupra (to me anyway). I got Seat centres for these without problem.

Mik,
Ah so your's is the black one then !
Yeah the weels are superb, that's the first thing i noticed !
My car's the imperial blue one below !
cheers.
Correctamungus!
Look forward to seeing yours with the 5-spokes. I originally wanted 5-spokes, but couldn't get them.....!
Now this is really freaky, but this morning when I came into work there was a Silver Leon 1.4S beside an A3 1.8T with the 16" 5-spokes. Freaky 'cos this is the only Leon in the car park (other than mine), and there are only 2 A3 1.8Ts amongst the 300+ cars parked there.
Did allow me to do a good "squinty eyed try to imagine what they'd be like on the Leon" though.....and I reckon they'll look pretty flippin nice. The audi centres are pretty subtle (being siver), but I measured the diameter using my finger :rolleyes: ~ will compare with my centres to see if they are the same size (look like they are).
Hurry up with the pix! :)

Mik,
Got the wheels on, yep they look good. As for the centre caps, they are recessed ones and the ones clip in and sit on the top of the wheel.
The 16's realy fill the wheel arches compaire to the 15's even though they arn't any bigger !! (65/15 - 55/16)
I feel an e-mail to FLAPPER coming on................
Johny ~ excellent! Post the pix....post the pix! :)
They fill the arches much better 'cos they are 7" wide as opposed to 6", so the rim "sticks out" an extra 1/2". Doesn't sound like much, but makes a heckova visual difference eh?
My wheels are 7" ET35 (std are 6" ET38).....so they "stick out" an extra 1/2" plus 3mm ~ about 15mm in total.
Actually ~ not sure what offset the Audi wheels are....would guess somewhere between ET35 and ET38 (?)
I'm rambling again.....
Cheers,
mik

Mik, I think the offset of the wheels are 42 ?????
They look better on the leon than the Audi i my opinion.

Mik,
Here's a photo as promised !.
Excuse the quality as it was getting dark when i took it !
Flapper has sourced some centre caps and they look good !
Just need some alloy wheel bolts as the ones i have are the steel SEAT ones - and there rusty !!
