Pic Request: 18in BBS, FR, Std suspension

[decadent]

Hi guys,
Merry Christmas
I'd like to upgrade the standard FR 17s and I'm liking the look of 18in BBS Seat Sport or VZ or CH at the moment and I was wondering if anyone had a picture of them on a mk2 FL FR with standard suspension.

I'm concerned it will look like the car is on stilts but I guess it shouldn't as the 18in Ibera's look fine imo. I've found a few pictures of the Golf Mk5 ED30 with BBS's which I guess would look similar ride height wise, they certainly make the Golf look even more classy.

I don't really want to mess with the suspension as it is firm enough for my liking!

Cheers
Matt

My pfl FR is on standard 18's and doesn't look like it's on stilts.

I think these are the wheels I am after (I like the OEM look), I believe these are BBS Seat Sport 18s

Shame I can't find a pic with them @ standard ride height and post FL.

Hi Mate

Not an FR, but these are mine on my previous TFSi Sport, not great pics i am afraid, was considering popping them on the FR myself, would imagine the height would be pretty similar.

Cheers Rob for taking the time to post.

I think I am sold, they look great. Now I just need to use up the remaining rubber on by existing 17s.

Pleasure mate. If I put mine on after Christmas will let you know. Only in Essex so you could pop and have a look.

Your welcome Rob. The BBS wheels give a nice clean look IMO.

The Leon sits very high standard imo.

The Leon sits very high standard imo.

I agree, it's crying out for a set of Sportlines. I don't know how I have resisted tbh

 

[decadent]

How much firmer if any are the sport lines versus standard (post face lift)?

The wife moans about the ride as is, especially down bumpy country lanes ..

I put Sportlines onto my Cupra and for me it improved the suppleness of the ride over oem. Looks wise it was perfect.
