Looking for Black alloy wheels!

[duru]

Hi all,

Just bought a black Leon Mk2 .

Current wheels are in poor condition.One is slightly buckled, and another one is badly scuffed.

I am now looking for new alloys but as most of the money has been spent on the
car,not much left in the pocket.

I can still manage around £300-£350 for a set though.

Got my eyes on a set of black alloy wheels which will cost me £315 inc. wheels,fitting kit,locks and delivery.
Cannot send the link but it is Carre alloy wheels model 846.

Any suggestions?

Thks,

serious ?

each to their own, but a leon deserves nice wheels, and a good 18"

Actually I would not go for them as they are only 16's as just noticed..

I would say go for the BBS CH reps on ebay for £575 inc tyres. Also as above 18's all the way

You could refurb your old alloys and power coat them. Of course it depends on how bad the buckle is. But you aint gonna get a set of 18"s and tyres for £350.

Theres a place in birmingham that did refurb for £20 per alloy inc colour change but that all depends on your location

Yes those are the guys, a guy at work had his done in black and they looked really nice. May go there when I get my new alloys

Those alloys look ****. Get some k1 alloys or Cupra ones so people don't laugh at you. My opinion m8

Thanks for the suggestions

Even fitted with budget tyres, a 18" package costs between 500 and 700 which is way over my budget.

That's why i want to stick with 16" alloys as my current tyres are 205/50R16 and in good condition.

Buckle on the alloy is pretty bad and to be honest i do not want to drive the car like this.

Local garage quoted 200 +VAT for refurbishing of 4 alloys and straightening the buckled alloy.

How does that sound to you?
