Just because it's different does not mean its good this looks **** say it how it is and stop being pussys , if you think it looks good then i suggest you put your glasses on , the wheels on the back look so wrong it's not in the theme of the cars size etc , these on some thing small like an Ibiza on the other hand would look awesome

nothing to do with being a *****. I've said its not my cup of tea. Just don't see the need to say it's "****" etc. If you went round saying everything you didnt like was **** you wouldn't be very popular.

What I'm getting at is, its fine not to like it. Just I don't see the need to be rude about it.

There are a lot worst abominations on the roads.

No, you think it looks crap and ****. Other people might actually think it would look with larger wheel etc etc

Would you prefer we just had 63 posts of people just saying "its ****" or "i like it" and nothing else?

Love the wheels but on a Golf, had some on my old VR6..... just don't suit the Leon in my opinion.

I'm guessing he's not liked the response... I just can't see how someone would go to the hassle of grinding calipers down and working out how to get them on and be happy with that result...id be gutted.Not to mention completely missing the sience/math of it not actually working,as he's not ever going to be able to go low enough and drive the thing.. Massive fail.

Not a fan sorry but if your happy that's the main thing.

From the side on pics the doors look a different shade to the rear wing? I have a platinum and it ain't like that.

Knew these would be farrrr too small when you posted in the photoshop section. Sorry but it doesnt look good, wheel style doesnt suit the car, too small, going to need to be undrivable low to get rid of the arch gap/get air ride. Even 17s are too small for a Leon IMO. The wheels would probs suit an Ibiza better actually. But ah well, your car and all that!

I surprised everyone has been so negative. I've always like those wheels and thumbs up for giving it a go. I hope when you've slammed it you get the results you want. If not you have picked them up for good money so at least you have not broken the bank.
Personally my slammed days are over. When ever I see a car on the deck I wince remembering what it felt like lol.
As for the speedo you'll realise you need to go a little faster when you're doing 30mph in town and being over taken by push bikes!
Get some pics up with the coilovers on. Trial and error that's how we learn.

Wheels aside (I couldn't care less), has nobody else picked up on the 'grinding brake calipers' down comment?

Grinding your brake calipers down for a wheel fitment is a terrifying idea. You should never be messing with something so safety critical like that. Weakening the brake calipers is the scariest thing I've ever heard....
