Iv seen a few pics of the Audi RS6s on a leon and the RS4s also on a Leon. now im after alloys in 17s, these 2 ive been looking at for a good month now. which do you recon?? :think:
 
i would say get some 18's in the rs4 guise. i had 17's and after i put a cupra r kit on they looked pretty small. Go for some 18's then abit of lowering mate
 
but its a 1.6 s 16v, 18s are gonna kill its performance, id like 16s to keep performance, 17s is as much as i'l do, 18s....no chance + tires are expensive!

Look better and drive slower to be noticed[B)].....18's are the way forward ;)

My old Leon (pictures in my sig) had 18inch RS6's

therfore I say 18inch RS4's
 
the thing is the real audi rs4/rs6 alloys are heavy, (13-18kg each if I remember correctly, depending on width and diameter), and wont fit your car anyway, as they're 5x112, which limits you to replicas, and I've seen some replicas which weigh >20kg per corner, without tyres. Additionally with replicas, there's the risk that they might not last long, or they end up peeling or something.

I reckon you'd be best off going with a quality light weight wheel, which suits the car, will last, and when you come to move on from the leon, will be in demand - thus get good resale prices.

perhaps from the likes of http://www.comp.co.uk/ or

just a thought anyway.

To be honest, there aint a real price difference between 17's and 18" tyres, not that I've found anyway....... you'll regret it if you didn't get any 18's.....
 
I would say stay away from Replica alloy wheels....unless they are italian in origin! I have had bad experience with them and would never consider them again!!
