Are The Orginal Cupra Wheels BBS?
- Thread starter dearly beloved
- Start date
Just want to know..if they are, I will buy my friend's orginal cupra alloys...he sells at a reasonable price...
Because the alloys sold at Seat's website are BBS..I wanted to know if the orginal ones on Cupras are BBS or not..This means they are lightweight and can replace my 17''..

why dont you just pick them up and see how heavy they feel. Dont think the cupra ever came with bbs alloys apart from btcc kitted ones.
The Cupra Std 18" wheels are made by Ronal , Spain.
They weigh 11 kg, by the way.
Mk1 wheels were Ronal too
Be surprised if they are BBS
Ronal and very heavy for a 7.5 j wheel (heavier than the Cupra R 18" wheels). Some Seat wheels are BBS and these are lighter/better finished.
most of the accessory wheels and goods were outsourced so could be from anywhere, seen bbs/speedline in the past and cant remember who they got to make the older mk2 sportline range
majority of the original wheels were Ronal but they are stamped/logo'd around the bolts or inside the spokes so worth a quick look

They are, got a few here and is says so on the inside of the spokes, but they also are lighter. A certain brand says nothing about the weight (look a OZ, thet got ultralight wheels but also produced real heavyweights). Weight doesn't say too muchs about the strength. A good alloy and crafmanship does (can't believe how much abuse the rays on my supra mark IV took before they finally gave up.....)
The Mk1 Cupra R wheels are Ronal AFAIK
I'll second that, sure they were. Remember hearing it a few times from various sources.
