Show me your wheels!!

[Pacey]

Hi everyone

I am at the stage now of buying some new alloys for my car in the next month or so and just wanted to see what everyone else has done to help me get some ideas and also to see what I think will suite my car?

I have a black cupra tdi 150, so would be good to see what other people have done to the same colour car? I am thinking along the line of,

·Black with red lip
·Black with polished lip
·White
·White and red
·Red
·Black

But I would love to see what other people have done and what other people’s thoughts are.

Cheers Pacey

maybe black with a green rim

Its a thought...! cheers

I've always quite fancied white wheels on a black car, but as is the way with all things cosmetic, it's very much down to personal choice!

 

[Pacey]

Indeed it is but still good to see what others have to offer..?

 

[MrBen2k7]

black leon on white alloys would look good...

or black on black....

 

[Pacey]

Yer thats what im thinking! also like the bit of Red in with it??

 

[MrBen2k7]

sorry to butt in your thread mate, i'm in same position as you but have yellow cupra,
i quite like the new style rs4 with black backing and polished fronts? have you seen them?
anyone got a set on a leon?

 

[MrBen2k7]

yellow on black looks awesome...

Consider the bumble-bee for inspiration

 

[MrBen2k7]

maybe black with a green rim

What size are those rims?

Is the ride hard with the being so low profile?

on a black or red car those would look awesome.

saw a black mk2 leon with similar style roll past on the motorway the other day and mmmmm me likie!!

 

[Pacey]

I agree think they would look gooood shame the fitting is wrong for the mk1

I've always liked the M3 BMW CSL wheels, not sure if they could be made to fit a Leon though. What is the offset for the LCR?

BBS RC's arent they? Could look for a set of them from a Mk4 GTI anniversary? If you find them with the chrome finishin either take vary good care of them or get them powdercoated or finished differently from original.

Similar but not the same.

Weren't the RC's 17" though?

 

[Murdered LCR]
