It's a Cupra, not a Cupra R though and those R wheels seem to be hard to get hold of. I like them myself.

Tiff, dunno if 18s will go on alright, plus don't really want to spoil the handling. Out of interest though, which MOs are we talking, 5 or 6 spoke?

18s comes as standard on the cupra r. So you wont have a problem with 18s.

Theres loads of stuff to put on it like the VAG/ Audi stuff as said like RS4s or RS6s A8 i would go for a set of MTMs or reps

I'd go with the 2003 > normal 20v turbo wheels.

The earlier ones (like you have) are awful aren't they! I had a 2002 with those wheels on and it was the only thing I hated about the car.

My FR+ 150 TDI with factory Cupra R styling.
But with a 17" version of the 18" Cupra R wheel.
The 18" do look better though.
Pics here:

Its just the Cupra 180 bhp model - would have looked even better with the Cupra R front bumper

Dogsmoke - they are Aerospeed RS-GT wheels but are now being made by Kei Racing.
