the pilots have a great profile from side dont they, nice and straight non bulgey walls!!!! rarrrr
Nice choice of wheels, i've run them on my Leon since November 2000.
Due for a change though, everyone is now getting them ;)
They are a nice thouhg, the 7 spokes give them a clean appearance, and the length of them going right upto the rim makes them look bigger than they are.
I've got 17's

I have got the 18's on the Golf that I have just sold and they looked pretty phat......only thing as Mark has said is that they are now a bit dated and a lof of people are getting them on.
Easy to clean though and a nice alloy!
I am looking at Kahn RSS 17's for the Ibiza...again they look quite big as the spokes go right to the edge!
Enjoy them ;)

I know its been around a while, but the design suits the Ibiza - and the Leon - and a bonus is that it won't be like the TSW Venom alloy design, where everyone has a set, then they go out of fashion and suddenly everyone hates them!
I was looking at the BK158's, but they aren't "motorsporty" enough for my liking!
If I curb them, I'll get them sprayed white, probably! On my Aosta green Ibiza, which I'm going to lower 40mm, that should look quite sweet!
Anyway - I really like the design of my new wheels!
I was looking at those Kahn flat face 5 spokes, but everyone seems to have those at the moment where I live, or cheaper copies!
Anyone got any suggestions for brake discs and pads (mine are on their way out!)???
Cheers,
Matt.

Tarox Discs.... Pagid Fast Road Pads....
Simple as that... :) they seem to be the most common choice..
I STILL have a set of EBC Greens sat in the boot of my car waiting to be put on, but the sodding weather has prevented me doing so as I don't want to stick them on and it be icy and me glaze them first time out cos I hit a patch of ice at a junction or summin.. hmmmmmmm.. :rolleyes:
There have been quite a few threads on brakes.. have a look through previous posts...
