What colour code are the LCR Alloy's??

Two possible wheel colours seat have used. Hard to tell without seeing the wheel but try, PLATA R (L1BC) or ANTHRAZITE (LZ72)hope this helps.

Being thick do you mean which one out of the two or what manufacturer?

Lol i mean which one out of the two paint codes do the wheels in the above picture look like?

Those codes are both a bit odd. Take the L off (it stands for Lackierung, meaning "finish", or lacquer if you prefer) and most VAG codes are xdy, where x used to be a country/origin code (S was Seat/Spain) d is a digit indicating the colour in the RAL system and the final letter y is just a code letter.

Neither 1BC nor Z72 fits this structure, meaning they are either older codes (like 041 Black) or there's a typo in there somewhere.

The middle digit 7 is right for a grey or silver finish.

Moving to the names, Anthrazit = Anthracite = coal coloured, more or less. This will be a dark metallic colour, I'd expect.

Plata R is Spanish for Silver R (plata as in plate, like the river between Argentina and Uraguay), and I'd expect that to be a lighter colour.

Neither of those colours has ever appeared on Seats, as far as I know, unless it's a long way back.

I would say the L1BC. If you're taking it to a bodyshop ask them if they can show you a colour chip for the colour first.

That's an extremely useful tool.

These are new codes, so the code system has changed. They probably ran out of room in the old, partially-meaningful system.

Looking up the two colours you mentioned, the site tells me: - `

Plata R L1BC Applied to mirrors and wheels, from 2009. Alhambra, Altea, Altea XL. Leon, Toledo.

Anthrazit LZ72 Applied to bumpers, mirrors and as stripes on Altea Freetracks from 2007

There aren't a lot of colours given for Seat wheels, and one of them is Tornado Red, so I think there might be some info missing or wrong, or the codes simply aren't known.

Has anyone seen a Seat car with red wheels?

A lot of the time they don't always show the previous years, but from experience sometimes the the earlier years are the same. For example renault standard rims have been the same for around 10+years.
