the rear wheel offset is et48 so need about a 25mm adaptor to bring the wheel away from the coilover, so will be running about et23, which sits pretty much flush with the arch, give or tske a couple of mm

I c, I was more worried about the front wheel mate tbh, What offset have you gone for on the front? I'm presuming your adaptor will be smaller? maybe 15mm?

Ps. My wheels have arrived from the USA btw, I wont hijack and post pics here but either way if you don't get round to it I'll be test fitting my front this weekend :) Can't wait!

Sorry that was the front. I will have to have a bigger adaptor for the front. Maybe 25 or 30mm. Post pics here I don't mind would Like to see. Put the new colour on the rims tonight :).

And captain cupra I would like to see some pics of the other one with them on. Be intresting to look at .

I've been searching ever since I saw this thread was a plat grey Cupra 4 V6 they do in Europe, been searching and searching was on a European tuning forum of some name, when I find it I'll post it up :)
 
heres the colour scheme i have gone for, stone grey centres and a polished lip, bit different to all X5 rims i have seen on golfs, S3s etc

well here are the pics of them on the front and now you can see my colour choice :) i have also polished up the lips of the wheels to, something a bit different :) this is a 9j rim running et33 at the moment which is tight against the coilover so will run a wider adaptor to be et23, this will give the wheel a bit of poke, at the moment it is flush with the arch :)

Does look smart.. a lad on my facebook has X5 wheels on his leon, but there a slightly different design to yours
 
I like em, the colour looks good against the blue, can't wait to see them on.
