But they look VILE on the car! What was I thinking?! £440 down the drain. Gonna phone the shop tomorrow to see if I can get an exchange.

That's why photoshop is your friend

 

[faisal1203]

They look disgusting don't they? Lol

I made a photoshop thread once before but no one replied so never bothered with another 1 lol

Just hope that I can exchange these

Lowering before wheels my friend...

 

[DerbyForget]

im surprised you thought they looked good in the first place to be honest! im sure they will offer a refund or exchange. IMO team dynamics make some good ones (pro race 1.2s) and you cant go wrong with BBS

 

[faisal1203]

Read the receipt n if I return them there would be a 25% administration charge! Gonna see if I can exchange them.

What do u guys think off the Audi S5 wheels?

 

[DerbyForget]

that's a bitch! yeah they are nice, I'd probably look at reps though if I were you. genuine ones would be mega £££ failing that I always like the look of mk5 golf GTI alloys

 

[faisal1203]

Yeah definitely reps lol Anyone got any pics Of an FR with S5 alloys?

 

[Brinkz]

Mmmmm, I think you could rescue them mate. As a previous poster has said, get her lowered and then i reckon some spacers on and you might change your mind.

 

[faisal1203]

Yeah I was thinking the same mate, lowered and spacers will make em look better. But I don't think the multi spoke really looks good on the Leon's.

Gonna see if I can exchange with S5's then lower and spacers

 

[Jarre]

I think lowering it would look tonnes better, but personally i think theres just too many spokes on.

jmerrie I believe has a set on his FR. Do a search in the readers rides and you will find it. They do look good.

 

[S.E.C.T.]

Oh dear. They really don't suit the car at all.

 

[Faceless]

Thats the style of wheel you might see slapped onto a Corsa / Fiesta.

Most Alloy places will bring an Alloy or Two out, then place them infront of your wheels, so standing back a bit you see how it is going to look on the car, before they fit them with tyres and fit them on the car - didnt they do anything like this when you went there, before fitting?

Plus its funny how a perfectly decent set of Alloys can look fantastic in the shop, but just dont work at all, once you see them on a car.

Best of luck, hope you get something you like (and are not out of pocket).

If you end up getting stuck with them. Maybe try getting them sprayed all silver? Get Ro of the black inserts an they'll look kind of like R32 wheels??

Just a thought...

 

[marks_leon]

They look terrible. They look like halfords wheels. Deffo get them changed.

 

[Mr Cellotape]

FIAT.....there I said it....

I will go and get my coat now.

PS I feel for you OP.... they are the worst I have seen on a MK2. Wish you good luck selling them on.

Dear lord, burn it and claim on the insurance

[faisal1203]

Haha! You'll be glad to know I managed to exchange them plus £100!

But oh well I'm happy with how the car looks now
