Cupra rims
Cupra rims - overview
Sporty design and performance at the highest level
Cupra has developed from a sporty equipment line at Seat into an independent brand that stands for performance, innovation and exceptional design. Models such as the Cupra Leon, the Formentor, the all-electric Born and the Ateca SUV combine sporty driving behaviour with striking looks. A central element of this sporty appearance are the matching wheels, which not only emphasise the dynamics, but also contribute functionally to the driving performance.
Original Cupra rims
Cupra offers a wide selection of original rims that have been specially developed for the respective models. These rims impress with their precise workmanship, exact fit and sporty, exclusive designs. The high-performance versions in particular, such as the Formentor VZ5 or the Cupra Leon Sportstourer 4Drive, use high-quality alloy and forged rims that meet the highest visual and technical requirements.
Original Cupra rims are available in various colours and surface finishes, including:
-
Matt or gloss black for an aggressive, sporty look
-
Copper colours - typical for Cupra - as a striking brand feature
-
Anthracite or graphite for modern elegance
-
Glossy turned bi-colour rims with diamond-cut elements for a high-quality look
These rims are aerodynamically optimised and weight-reduced, which has a positive effect on acceleration, fuel consumption and steering behaviour - especially in electrified models such as the Cupra Born.
Aluminium rims from other manufacturers for Cupra vehicles
In addition to the original rims, there are a large number of high-quality aluminium rims from third-party suppliers that are compatible with Cupra models. These rims offer numerous customisation options without compromising on quality and safety. The leading brands include:
-
OZ Racing - lightweight rims with motorsport character, ideal for sporty models
-
Borbet - solid aluminium rims with a classic and modern design
-
Ronal - precision-manufactured rims with timeless aesthetics
-
AEZ and DOTZ - eye-catching designs for a personalised touch
These manufacturers offer rims in various finishes, including matt, polished, high-sheen or multi-coloured painted. All rims fulfil common safety standards such as load capacity, brake clearance and rim strength according to ECE or ABE certification.
Common inch sizes and offsets of Cupra rims
The choice of inch size and offset (ET) depends on the respective model, the desired look and the chassis design:
-
18 inch to 19 inch: standard on Cupra Leon, Cupra Ateca and Cupra Born
-
19 inches to 20 inches: for sportier variants and performance models
-
20 inches to 21 inches: for special models such as the Formentor VZ5 or for tuning purposes
Typical offsets for Cupra rims are between ET 35 and ET 50, depending on the rim width and the vehicle model. Rims with a lower offset are further out and give the vehicle an even sportier look, but must be carefully checked for clearance and TÜV approval.
Design variants of the Cupra rims
Cupra rims are an expression of sporty sophistication. Popular designs are:
-
Double-spoke rims: sporty and angular, perfect for the Cupra Leon or Born
-
Y-spoke rims: light and elegant, popular with SUV models such as the Formentor
-
V-spoke rims: striking and powerful, for a dominant road presence
-
Turbine wheels: aerodynamically optimised, especially for electric models
-
Multi-spoke rims: classic and high-quality, especially for understated elegance
With the right wheel, the sporty DNA of every Cupra model can be stylishly emphasised - with a clear focus on design, technology and performance.
