18" wheels?

[jc_boc]

Hey guys. My Boca is on order and I was wondering if the Leon Cupra 18" wheels would fit the Boca. I have got the racing brake upgrade too so was wondering. They looked frikken awesome on the concept and since mine will be white I would like a set of them in black. Any ideas on this and can the dealership do it?

18" on a daily driver would be an expensive move. the roads are more potholes than smooth tarmac these days, 18"s will last a week at the most before you loose a tyre or bend a rim. if i could run 16"s on my Cupra i would, but they don't fit over the AP calipers. i ran 14" on my trackday Arosa and not much got past me at Castle Combe. F1 cars don't run low profile tyres. 18" would be a show car, Max power thing to me. of course you can do your thing, i respect anyone who gives something different a try.

MK1 Leon wheels would fit fine with 213/35 18 tyres.

I think the LCR wheels would look ace myself.

18"...... i think someone is getting a bit greedy haha,

if they fit mate go for it, as long as your prepared for the ride 'un'comfort =p

 

[jc_boc]

LOL. Thanks guys, was just thinking about it. Valid points though about ride comfort. Waiting to hear from the dealership what the price will be on the seat sport suspension. Does need to be a little lower as the gap between tyre and fender looks like the grand canyon!

would be cheaper to get some good coilovers i'd have thought?

 

[jc_boc]

Are there ones out there already for the new beeza?

 

[techie]

Same as the mk4

 

[jc_boc]

mmmmmmmmm "rubbing hands together" hehehehehehehehehe. Seems I wil be shopping next year then. Thanks techie.

 

[Dave217]

check out dpm performance

http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/

they stock coilovers for the mk 5

 

[ibizaracebrake]

Same as the mk4

coilover kits must be suitable for '6J' ibiza, my KW kit just arrived and it doesn't fit any other MK of the car.

 

[jc_boc]

Great! I am watching the other thread to see if pics go up once they are in. Fortunately I have time hehehehe. By the way, what do you have to do in order to be able to finally put pictures up here? I don't do the photobucket thing and am not too clued up with putting links in. I know, I am stoopid hehehehehhe

 

[Dave217]

basically i use image shack, you upload your picture and it will give you a link, copy the link into this and put

that should work for you,

alternativly you can just upload the image and post the link, then when someone clicks the link they will be taken to the image

 

[jc_boc]

hmmmmmmm will have to look into it sometime. Thanks for the help. Still wish we could just load it here on the site.

Nice, look forward to seeing that. Would have gone for KW myself as and when but been a little put off by the ammount of leaking dampers i've seen.

ugh thats the problem with the Internet. So many views on things I can never settle

 

[mardon]

Must say the more I think about it the more I recon the new Leon Cupra R alloys would look amazing. Just like the concept. Would want them dark grey like on the normal boc.

 

[techie]

New Leon wheels won't fit though, different PCD.

 

[craigboca]

never want to try and put someone off an idea because I don't like it when people do it to me but personally I think the standard wheels are about right 18's would look pretty massive

bit of lowering and I think it will look perfect

 

[jc_boc]

LOL. Thanks guys, the feedback is fantastic! Pitty the PCD differs coz I do think those cupra rims will look the part and you do have a point Mardon. I reckon the same grey as the boc rims would look proper!!! The rims on the FR are the same style as the concept if I am not mistaken, just needed to be 18's hahahahhahahha
