I am looking for opinions here guys, so let em fly!!

I am going to to be replacing the alloys on my 16V (the white ones that you just cant keep clean!). I am going for another set of sixteens as my tyres are still in good nick and im a cheapskate!! I have narrowed it down to two sets, OZ Super T's or Masitaly VT5R's. What do you guys rthink?? The OZ's are kind of seat related as thay are standard on the new cupra R.

Let me know what u think.

Prefer the Oz Super T's myself. The VT5's are nice tho, just prefer multispokes. Great fun to clean too! :D

The OZ's are a nice wheel to look at IMO, but are likely to be a bitch to keep clean - even fiddlier than your current wheels, although they shouldn't show the muck as badly... If I were you, I'd also check out sizes and go for a slightly wider rim (6.5J or 7J) if possible so you can run 205/45R16's safely

hopkinsgm,

What size of offset etc am I best to go for for my car?? Im new to changing wheels on this car so am unsure.

Jason,

I think ill hang on to my white wheels and possibly get them re-furbed for track days etc. If I change my mind ill let ya know mate!

Cheers

OZ tend to only do 37mm offset which should be fine as standard is 38mm. I'd go for a 7" rim as on the Cupra R. I have Super L's on mine and they're great, see Gallery 9 for pics on main site.
