[Jamie225]

they look really nice, suit the car well. did you get your brembos done at the same place?

 

[Deleted member 12147]

I refurbed the brembos myself.

Yes

Yeah I thought the black would look better than white. My calipers were a right state though. The previous owner had tried to repaint them and they had painted around the original decal, it look sh*t.

 

[STUSSY]

Car is looking sweet mate love the wheel colour

 

[slayer188]

like the wheels and the calipers very nice

No sorry, thought about selling them but everytime I get a car I change the rims and sell the standard ones and wish i never had. Having a spare set of wheels comes in handy.



All the spokes on the wheels point in the same direction so there is no option of having them facing one way or the other (if that makes sense)

On one side of the car the spokes will face forward and on the other they'll face backwards. If you look closer at the pics of the red car you'll see this.

Thats nuts J3RV X didn't realise this about these wheels after all this time lol, they looks sweet on though.

Would be cool if they made the wheels for both sides as they look on the drivers side.

those wheels are simply stunning mate, suit the car so well, top job

 

[Deleted member 12147]

Thanks.

On the later 911 turbos they done a redesign of this wheel, on that wheel all the spokes face the same way. BUT they only come in 18" and I was after 19" also they don't have them in vag fitment so would have the added cost of sorting out adaptors.

These are the newer design:

[elviscat]

either way yours look sweet on m8 and definitely a nice change from the originals

 

[juneau]

[RS6]

If you ever sell them let me know

look amazing best wheels i have ever seen for the leon

 

[Deleted member 12147]

I think there is only a handful of people on here that have porsche rims, so you may aswell join the club lol.

What style are you looking at?

Thanks, will keep you in mind

 

[juneau]

to be honest im not sure what style yet as ive still got to look into what you guys recommend size wise and discover pcd's etc like i did before i bought my wheels for my c2.dont want to go getting stupid amounts of arch gap etc lol

 

[paul26982]

you want 18's, perfect size in my opinion, 17 too small- 19 ride isnt good etc, then goes down to what ET the wheels are and then you find out what spacers adapters you need
