| Complied from personal experiance. 17" Six Spoke wheels from Audi TT (ET32 5x100) 17" Competition wheels from Audi TT (ET32 5x100) 17" Six Spoke wheels from Audi S3 (ET32 5x100) 17" SEAT Leon Cupra R alloys (ET33 5x100) Just some options that you can get second hand there really as quite a few sets come up on Ebay and the like. |

| Thanks Ross. Is there any sure fire way of knowing if the Brembos will fit behind a particular wheel? |

| A worth while note is that this list was created for the Mk3 Ibiza R brakes as far as i know which have a smaller diameter disc. For the 5x100 disc (323mm) GT/Leon R disc you will need 17" wheels but the offset etc should be the same. |
