Iv never been to keen on gold wheels. On scoobys yes but anything else im not sure. Gold 527's might look alright on the leon though :D

Excellent photoshop by the way, style and colour look really good. I'd be very tempted myself. Shame they do t do them in white.

Iam liking the Matt black ones. Always wanted a concave wheel, and these are a good compromise with an odd 8.75J and the a fair price.

What size tyres would you run on these wheels ?

Would probably run 225/40/18, but all depends how much poke and clearance i get on the front :confused:

will these definately clear the brembos for LCR gus.....!?!?

also in the photoshop pic what size have these been done as? they look much larger than 18"

Iv done them at 18's but they do look a bit bigger than that now i look back at the pic. They were intended to be put on the LC but now im not sure. They should fit as a lot of jap cars with big brake setups have these wheels

the tyres certainly dont look to have a very big profile..

regards clearance on for the LCR id be wary, many wheels that are not even concaved/deep dish struggle to fit. It would be a shame to order these and find they dont fit.
I hope they do though :eek:)

how would 225/40/18s look on these as they are 8.75 wide not 7.5 like OEM LCR alloys.

I hope they do as well. The company im buying them from are near me so i might be cheeky and ask them if can try one before i buy ;) When i get my LCR next weekend im going to do some measuring up to see what needs to be done. Wont be getting the wheels until im 100% certain they will fit

I have just bought a set of these couldn't resist. However does anyone know if I would need seated or radius spacer bolts for these wheels?
