Hellaflush Clio

[LowLife.]

Right, I'm currently on a set of 15s, running 195/45/15, coilies are down a lot more at the front, would like to go further but waiting on custom springs for the rear first. What I need to do now is sort out what rims I want to go for, I really want splits, but they are so expensive! I have seen some fake splits on the bay for £400, but I don't want to make the baby Jesus cry

Any ideas on what sort of rims I could go for? Will post some pics up tomorrow

Aha only just seen this thread! and the love for my old clio!! black mk2 running the orange schmidts! get on wheel wh0res forum and get looking for wheels, plenty on there i picked up my schmidts for £400 and tyres were less than £200! not that expenisive and they looked awesome! more who0ring....

Wheel et was about -15

Was a bit of work to get this useable, mick took a grinder to my archs and took of the lip so i didnt get to much rubbage! was fine to drive with 1 or 2 in the car!

Negative offset?

Major scene points! lol

 

[Kneel]

Negative offsets are a LOT of work to pull off though so unless you're ready for a lot of arch modification then I wouldn't haha. It looks awesome, but when I ran -19ET on a 9J wheel on my S13 it caused no end of problems that took a grinder, a hammer and some patience and even then it was still catching things that I couldn't cut away

This trend/fashion really does not work for me, perhaps it's only for the kids of today... I can see no benefits whatsoever and plenty of downsides :dapprove:

 

[LowLife.]

Lol at for the kids. It's just something different that's all.


Maybe I should get some Turinis......

 

[KMB]

Well, I do like Turinis

 

[LowLife.]

Lol, what about silvervisions?

 

[KMB]

No... They're not standard equipment

 

[LowLife.]

Neither are Turinis on some models :rasp:

The car has more lowz, will get some photos tomorrow. Looking at new rims atm, seen some BBS reps on the bay. Yes I know fake splits blah blah blah....GTFO. The 45 profile makes so much difference! Need some custom springs for the rear and the front winding down a bit more. Then it just needs some spacers and some camber yo!

Much prefer a track **** clio appearance to a hellaflush one. Buy a VW ffs.

Some people have a very different idea of awesome to me. Real comedy looking stuff.

I'm going to sleep now but you two can do some bedtime reading here for some more opinions on stretched tyres

Never really thought about it voiding your insurance.

I dont like the look personally but thats just my opinion.

Buying a VW is what everyone does though. giving a clio a different look to the usual replica/sports look is a good thing.

I love the black and orange one, dislike the bonnet bra though, bonnet bras are gay haha.

Hella Flush sounds like something you stick in the oil before an oil change. And it should stay that way.

These things just look like the suspension's knackered.
