18" performance alloys diamond cut + other stuff

tardis56 · Mar 14, 2014

Just had the alloys finished in Anthracite with diamond cut spokes plus a few other bits done too.

Before - as I got it.

Centre caps

Really like what you have done with the wheels. Love the centre caps. Where did you get them? You will have to paint the brake calipers next.

AndyN · Mar 14, 2014

Where did you get the wheels done? How much and how long did it take? They're really good!

tardis56 · Mar 14, 2014

Had them done at The Wheel Specialist, Fareham.
I make the centre caps and I have some Brembo calipers to go on as soon as I have repainted them.

It all looks great mate. I'm going to wheel tec tomorrow to choose a colour and this has got me excited!

tardis56 · Mar 14, 2014

Dean, they lend themselves to having this done and think Seat could have sold lots as aftermarket items.
Do you like the reg??!!
Gloss black roof wrap next week as well.
DTUK box going in another 500 miles....!!!!

DeanC · Mar 14, 2014

Very cool! I think im going for a smoked/shadow chrome.

AndyN · Mar 14, 2014

How much/how long did it take? I absolutely want those wheels!!!

MikeFr · Mar 14, 2014

Really like the wheels. Definitely add to the car. I wouldn't be allowed to spend any more :shrug:

Might stretch to the caps. What did you use to make them? ?
Also where did you get tail pipes in chrome?

Took just a day and cost around £130 per wheel

AndyN · Mar 14, 2014

Thanks. Tempted, I want my wheels doing but I use the car every day so can't leave it anywhere for the usual overnight/2/3 days I seem to be being quoted.

tardis56 · Mar 14, 2014

Sounds a long time to me but different places have different timescales I suppose.

tardis56 · Mar 14, 2014

Also have one of these hooked up to the OBD port - interesting read outs and diagnostics. http://www.plxdevices.com/product_info.php?id=GSST2WIFI
If you get Harry's Lap Timer from the App Store it also does GPS lap times and overlays.

Haha that's brilliant!

Hi Dean,

I had my MR2 alloys in shadow chrome, only downside is that the inserts tend to look like they have brake dust on them even when there clean.

Rob66 · Mar 14, 2014

Wheels look car cracking mate, always love diamond cut specially at night.

dieselface · Mar 14, 2014

Probably the best colour change on those wheels I've seen so far.

Not a fan of the centres myself but great effort and thanks for the pics!

tardis56 · Mar 14, 2014

Thanks
The centres I made to see what they may look like as SEAT don't do anything like them.

dieselface · Mar 14, 2014

Don't get me wrong they don't look bad.. my eye was drawn to the red on the FR rather than the beautiful diamond cut effect at first. I can see some SEAT dealers doing the same on these wheels.

C_ED_99 · Mar 14, 2014

Looks great tardis, really liking the wheels.

SC 14 L(eon) FR is a pretty spectacular reg
