Anyone else using OEM wheels on their car (from a different model!)

[feenster]

Hi all,
I'm looking at replacing the alloys on my Platinum Grey Cupra TDI (the "older" style alloys, not the FR ones). I want to keep it looking OEM, so am looking at wheels from other cars in the VAG group.

Thus far, the optoins are:
VW Santa Monica


Audi S3


Audi TT


I'm after something smooth, fairly simple, and OEM looking. I want to stay at 17", and would really like something black or grey if possible. Any thoughts? Anyone got any of the above on their Leon?

I had the TT wheels on my old Ibiza and they weighed a ton. They looked good, but didn't half affect the accelleration. So much so that I replaced them with the Seat Sport Oz's.

They look cracking. Really suit the car. Think they are a bit expensive for me though, looking at picking some up for a few hundred quid at most.

RS6s look nice, I was very tempted to buy a cupra as someone locally was selling a set of 19" Black powder coated new style RS4 Alloys.

Here's an older model with the TT alloys above:

I really like the Santa Monicas, was considering those for my car. The authentic V-dub items are REALLY expensive so replicas are probably your best bet. If you want an individual look, I'd steer clear of RS6s and the old style RS4s cos everyone has them; the S3/TT/new RS4 ones aren't as common.
