Thanks mate,Thanks
No they are actually ridiculously heavy.
12kg each rim. (8.5 x 18)
Well, they're not extremely heavy but indeed, an OZ Ultraleggera, for example, in that size is 18x8.0 is 8.4 kg.
Was contemplating on a set Sportecs to improve the handling etc. of my Leon since I have quite heavy replica's... difficult...

Yeah, then they are only available in 8.5 which means a little extra.
There are a few Jap wheels that just top off 6kg...
Try Rota Tarmacs, similiar look to Sportecs and quite light I beleive.

Thanks for the tip. They are a bit too JDM for me though (copy of prodrive p1 impreza wheels).
I like my current wheels a LOT, but you can feel they're heavy and big unfortunately

There are a few other similiar models but not really the same.
Yours look very nice too.
Problem with most light weight wheels are their nasty Japo looks
Maybe the best looking option are the O.Z. Racing.
hell thats one fast tdi..... mine s no where near that fast top end and is not that far off your hp figures great work though love the car....
Is that the new crash bar Marco? Doesn't look like there's much of it - lovely looking IC though!
I got the FMIC and the Hoses. (online)
If you need the Link PM me.
The bloke thats fitting it, supplied and cut the 2 remaining pipes.
Just 2 extensions from the 90º hoses basically.
On one side it fits into the squashed pipe from the Turbo
On the other it fits in to the pipe going in to the Turbo

I didnt mean it like that mister..i meant it in a new purchasing on the horizon way.
Firstly the upgraded FMIC has almost double the volume (in capacity)
Secondly it stays directly in front (or behind) the bumper, the OEM one sits behind the radiator and air conditioning system, thus receiving less air.
I will let you fellas know about performance, havent driven the car for a while but I am sure it must make a diference, after all cooler air = more oxygen.
I know it will eat up more of the smoke, which is good.
