Sorry for the hijack but i am also interested in the response as i think these wheels are amazing but weather they look right on a LCR is another thing cheers.

got a mate down my end with these on a blue lc, in my honest opinion, i dont think they suit,

thats just my opinion but there is something about them that doesnt flow with the car,

I find this easy to belive as the LCR is such an aggressive looking beast you need the rite mix of everything to keep it looking sweet but a picture would be appreciated if you can get one mate cheers.

Ok, so I'm rubbish on Photoshop, but curiosity got the better of me

I was convinced they wouldn't work, cos they're so obviously Mk5 wheels ... still don't know if I could live with people calling my car "the one with the Golf wheels"

... but actually think they look pretty good [B)]

A LCR with Golf GTI wheels,:wtf: Pls NO.
Dont look bad on photoshop pic but in flesh it would bring tears to my eyes

The LCR alloys make the Leon look aggressive & purposeful

Only my opinion

...would they clear the brembo's???

Would depend on the offset ... but they'd have to be replicas to fit the Leon anyway, so you'd only be limited by what's available


Interestingly, I've found my Megane brembos are tiny in comparison to CupraR calipers, so if anyone desperately wanted them there is a solution that doesn't involve spacers ;)

It looks pretty good imo but like foxes said the LCR wheels make the car i think with plenty of space to see the monster Brembos. Gonna change the colour of the std wheels tho i think to the same colour as the Civic type R wheels as Seat paint man or machine is crap:p cheers.

They are too flat-sided to suit the Leons lines and angles IMO.

Plus, it would be blindingly obvious you have Golf GTi wheels on your Seat. That's not a good thing, IMO.
