BBS CK 19x8 now fitted to my Mk2 Leon Cupra

[STOCKY]

Looks lovely...good choice, glad you went for them in the end.

On the suspension try eibach sportline springs....they will drop it perfectly!

 

[ZBOYD]

Cheers Stocky. Eibach are on my shortlist if I decide to go for the Koni FSD dampers, i'll mate the Sportlines up to them. Unless i decide to go for coil-overs again of course, which have the springs included. It's got to wait though now, maybe May time i'll of done enough overtime

They are very very nice... Getting close to selling my motor to save for the next big thing and the cupra is growing on me.

Just put some LCR rims on the car and if I keep the car they'll be in that colour, but still warey of the contrast with yellow...

fantastic ... thinking of rs4 wheels for mine but may change my mind now how much were they ?

 

[Jace]

Roughly a grand without tyres my wallet is on strike

That's not bad. I guessed they'd be a fair bit more.

 

[ZBOYD]

Yer, the split rim versions are obviously a whole heap more. But for just over £1500 with good rubber, i'm very pleased with them. You can certainly see where the money goes with BBS wheels, the quality is excellent.

christ need to re morgage my house !! bloody superb though how do u find the ride on 19's???????????????????????

 

[jenk]

Very nice choice indeed, with that drop it will look perfect!

 

[ZBOYD]

Not as bad as I expected, its obviously a bit harder on rough ground but not bone shaking.

Car doesn't tram either, seems to handle even better. I don't rate the standard shocks though, they were the same on the Cupra R. They start out ok, but within 6 months or so they get lazy and very crashy on the road. So when my wallet recovers a bit, i'll be aiming to probably get some Koni FSDs and Eibach springs to drop it a bit too.

it looks lovely.. and emma just walked by and went 'oo thats nice' so its her approval to!

but a bag of sand and a half! ouch!

 

[googies]

Very nice, I just hope you're better at parallel parking than me.

Rob

How about a set of these!

 

[NickP]

Funnily enough Platinum Grey touch up is almost a perfect match for them if you have any small mishaps

 

[ZBOYD]

I rarely ever parallel park. I don't like to tempt fate I've never kerbed any of my SEAT alloys.

But frighteningly the ones I did kerb were aftermarket ones, many years ago mind you.

**** happens, but if your careful and think about your manoeuvres then that's all you can do.

I think when you spend over a grand on alloys, you tend to be ultra, ultra careful. I haven't got one kerb mark on my Superleggeras after nearly 3 years.

Mark,

Where did you get the McGuards from? Thinking of investing in a set - in fact the part # would be the same I would think.

 

[ZBOYD]

Halfrauds. I went in to buy myself a Torque wrench and plastic covered alloy socket so i could fit the wheels. Noticed the McGard display and matched up a bolt i took with me to the right set.

I can dig out the code tomorrow if i remember in the am.

 

[foxy367]

Is it just me or does it not seem to matter what size wheels we put in those arches they still look like they need to be lowered. My FR runs 18's and they look like 15's or 16's!!!!

The 19's look stunning by the way.

 

[FR 2.0T Leon]

Foxy l agree.
Z - your car looks the absolute Bo**ox mate.
I want some, remortgage this weekend it is then.
