Hello there, first post so please be gentle!

I pick up my Leon FR tomorrow, it has the standard 17" wheels. Owing to my age now I am going to stick to that size of wheel. My question is, has anyone had the standard wheels redone in anthracite or a high power silver to show of the curves more? Alternatively I really like the Dare X2 wheel, the Fox MS007 or a BBS ch style all in 17.

Does anyone have any of these wheels (pics) on thier car?

Thanks in advance
Raymond

Hi Raymond and welcome. Just one question. What has age to do with the size of the wheels?:D:D

Thanks for the welcome guys. I've done the 30 and 35 profile tyres and I'm not sure my bones can take it anymore, I guess I'm just looking for a little more comfort and compliance now. If I use speed it's usually in a straightish line, overtaking, so I don't want a harsh ride day to day.

The 17"s are the best looking on the FR SC, maybe the larger wheels look better on the 5dr or the ST but that's just my opinion....

I agree they aren't bad looking wheels, mine is a 5 door in Nevada white, that's why I was wondering about maybe changing the colour of them.

I sympathise completely; when I bought mine the dealer (Letchworth Seat) were happy to swap the standard-fitment 18s for the same Performance 17s as I didn't want too harsh a ride.
But after 3 years I'm finding the seats firm anyway, but worse is trying to climb out!
so with regret, Leon - you're fired.
Moving on to a Volvo XC60. Believe the tweed trilby isn't compulsory....
