I've always thought about putting these wheels on mine and keeping the LCR alloys (light weight...kind of :p) for track time/Winter but then the reps which I assume you have are both heavy and huge so peformance will be down with them on all the time. If I could justify spending £500 on the reps then I'd probably use them as show wheels :).

I think Porsche use PCD 5X130.

Nice motor mate! What detailing/cleaning products are you using? Or have you had a professional detail?Your paint work looks a million times better than mine and I've done half the mileage!

The Leon looks amazing on those wheels.

Ibiza looks good too, though I would say that as I also have a black cupra on 17" Superturismos. lol.

Love the look. Make sure you take care of the polished faces as they tend to milk although porsche wheels are very high quality so less likely than others.

What mods you done to get 200+ bhp?

Turbo cant produce that level of turque. 300lb/ft is a more realistic figure for a well remapped tdi.
