What about pre-facelift fr wheels, they are 16s and look good with pre-facelift bumpers? can pick them up pretty cheap on ebay too.

your not allowed to advertise on threads that you are selling or you will be banned (again).

Not specifically advertising that I'm selling them on here.. no price. just stating that I may be at some stage if he (or anyone) were interested.

Simply another option if he was thinking about keeping to a SEAT alloy..

Definitely number 3 mate...they'd look the best on your seat with coilovers.

They look a little similar to the rotiforms :D, very nice.

Basically a lowering set of springs that allow you to lower the car to the height you want, instead of a standard set of springs.

wiki haha lol;):

A coilover is an automobile suspension device. "Coilover" is short for "coil spring over strut". It consists of a shock absorber with a coil spring encircling it. The shock absorber and spring are assembled as a unit prior to installation, and are replaced as a unit when the shock absorber has leaked. This provides for optimal damping without torsional loads. Some coilovers allow adjustment of ride height and stiffness, using a simple threaded spring perch similar to a nut. More advanced adjustable coilover systems will use a threaded shock body, coupled with an adjustable lower mount for ride height adjustment, while an adjustment knob is used to adjust damping, commonly referred to as "stiffness." Spring rate also plays a role in stiffness.

Awww gotcha in
My day it was just lowering springs , don't they make the ride hard and tyres wear uneven?
