Wheels wouldn't have been my choice but it's a very nice looking car otherwise

Very nice....a white wide-body has always been on my wish list.
What front splitter is that ?
As Morster (above) knows I have just fitted a Leon Cupra R splitter on mine, so I'm interested in what you hav.

I really want a wide arch Type R, don't think I've seen a white one before. Looks very nice.

It really needs some amber on there though, nice new, fresh, bright orange indicators & repeaters against the crisp white.

I like the amber look but feel it would take some of the aggresiveness away from the car...

I look at that car at the weekend and it's a total dog. Exterior and interior in terrible condition. dccd not working, intercooler spray not working, wiring a total mess, tyres with bad cracking noise from the rear. Etc etc. Drove 300 miles to see it as well.

Find me a good width wheel with an offset of no more than 20 with a 5x100 stud pattern and I will buy them

I'd hold off accepting that challenge, given you've overlooked the fact it's the car in the ebay link that was being referred to and not the OP's.

You never specified 17s...!

You cant complain, you asked for a wheel with >20 offset in 5x100, there is a wheel fitting that exact description,

Or just do what I have done, 17x9 et-5....
