View Full Version : White Alloy Wheels
Hello!! and Happy New Year!! :cheers:
I've always liked the look of White alloys but during the Chrimbo break I saw 2 cars with white alloys (one a cupra), and it made me decide, Im havin sum!!!
My only problem is im finding it difficult to source a nice set. I can get the cupra 16" white alloys form Seat (£139 each or something like that) but dont want to go ahead with them until i've explored other possibilities!!
Has anyone got white alloys?, know of a nice set of white alloys? know where to get them?
Would appreciate any help. Ta

There should be some other pics of white wheels under Features

most Compomotive wheels come in white uless you specifiy any other colour just be prepared to wait for 3 months if you order 16s (which is an uncommon size according to them :rolleyes: )

What size?
I have a set of 5off 7x15 BK Dymags in white, ET35, which I have had sitting in stock for a while.
I guess you will be wanting bigger tho.
Just a thought.

Bill, I am on the process of assembling the largest colection of Cordy wheels in the Uk - would they fit around the brembos - with spacers?
What do they look like? (i'm being very lazy...)
I have only one set of white 17 inch wheels in my bedroom - i need something else for the kitchen :hammer:
I feel a SEAT part repository coming on....
i live near raceline and the safari rally wheel is a beauty,also the speedline turini is good 17 incher is flow formed so is really light
btw what colour 1.816v ya got?is it the ealry mk2 or the later one?i have one too ya see,we are very few in here;)

Bill,
is that on circumference they don't fit? - I think that is what you were saying.
Given I have the EU spacer mountain.... :)
Lou - Not alot of difference between tuned 1.8 16v and 2.0 16v litre I would have thought.
I would love to have a go in one to see the difference though...
lucky,swap ya when we next meet?never driven a cordy before:cheers:
my 1.816v does 0-60 in 8.3(me drivng)
2ltr16v does it in 7.6 i think

Jason,
That's a deal - I'm supposed to have 185bhp but not convinced.
RR day needed - throttle bodies in prospect... mmmm
I have the cash in the next month or so - now do I have the bottle....

Have to say I would love to have a go in the tuned 1.4's about at the moment etc (swops there at track days) - I like all SEAT cars. Looking forward to having an AROSA loan car when my cordy goes in on Tueday for its's 40k service.
well mines roughly 40 behind ya,so be prepared for a slow ride:D

I only weigh 45 Kg to keep my car light.. :)
I even got rid of a lung..... :devil:.
Please don't compete on that - I nearly ended up losing some leg weight (another story).
Hi, Back online at last, motherboard blew!!!
Thanks for all the responses. I have decided to go for 16" Speedline Champions???? (Think thats what there called, 5-spoke star-type arrangement anyway!!)
jason - Its red and the later mk2 , very few indeed, finding perfomance parts is a struggle!
Lucky_32 - Im progressively tuning and should find out on Sat what the BHP is. Last month or so, it been showing signs of losing perfomance, so its gettin a service then going on the rolling road!!

It's very much a personal taste thang! IMO I detest white wheels I think they look stupid. There again Cilla Black is popular so some people have the strangest tastes!
