Title: FAO: Toast, Pics of My Cupra and BBS CH Reps
Post by: DaveyCupra on September 03, 2010, 05:40:25 pm

Hi guys just a few pics of my staggered BBS CHs on my Yellow Leon Cupra. Toast PM'd me asking for pics of the stretched tyres at the rear. Tyres are 225/40/18 all round. Wheels are 18x9 on rear and 18x8 on front. Wheels have been fitted since March 2010 and covered about 10k so far. Paint is perfect so far and good resistance to stone chipping.

Oh my giddy aunt!  :drool:

Do you feel safe throwing it round a corner with the strech? Is it dangerous?

Hey, thanks for the comments guys. My aunt works owns the brokers who I am insured with and they are declared so I am covered  :smiley: I was a bit wary of hard cornering but after lots of spirited drives over the past 10k miles everything has been fine. No problems with the stretch at all. I may look at getting 235/40/18 tyres on the rear when they are worn.

Dave if you don't mind me asking? where did you get the BBs centre caps and what size are they?  I've been after some for my reps for ages but just cannot find the size for mine.

Cheers car looks  8) mate

Cheers Morty,

I got them from autoalloys.com. Ring them up and ask for paul or aidy, they will sort you out with a set. I don't know how much they will be separate though.
