because of this id be really interested to hear from anyone who has non OE wheels fitted to a 2018
carbon edition with 370mm brembos as i havent got a clue as to what will fit or not. Any
help greatly appreciated
On most reputable aftermarket alloy wheel retailer’s websites, if you input details of your car, then they should only show you alloys that will fit your specific make and model of car.
The vehicle make / model lookup tables on some alloy wheel retailer websites are better than on others. The Rimstyle website (
www.rimstyle.com) seems to be quite good and gives the options of finding the correct vehicle from its reg no, VIN or manually selecting the appropriate details (make, model, year of manufacture, body style, engine size / bhp, whether FWD, RWD, 4WD). Note that with
Cupra, it sometimes isn‘t shown as a manufacturer - with Rimstyle’s vehicle lookup tables, Seat needs to be selected as the manufacturer, Leon as the model and
Cupra is included on the engine size list - see below;
The alloys that are then displayed for your car should take into account factors as brake size to ensure there are no clearance issues between the calipers and barrel or spokes of the alloys. However, it may not take into account larger brakes if these were optional rather than standard on your model of car. (I seem to think they were part of the (optional?) Performance Pack), in which case it would be advisable to call the phone contact number or use the online enquiry form.
Bear in mind that with aftermarket alloys, the original OEM centre caps may not fit. However, if OEM style centre caps are important to you, then it ought to be possible to buy a set of Seat /
Cupra emblems with 3M (or similar) adhesive tape backing that can attached over the centre caps supplied with the aftermarket alloys.
Good luck in your search. Please update this discussion thread with the outcome - i.e.
- the damaged wheel can be safely repaired
- you manage to find an OEM replacement
- you replace your existing alloys with a set of aftermarket alloys.
