New wheels - unexpectedly different?

[Pete.]

If anyone was wondering why I've got my 182 Cup alloys up for sale here is the reason.

I got home from Goodwood yesterday and my son told me about a wheel deal he had been offered by a friend in the trade. These were brand new with no mark tyres and a once only offer that I couldn't refuse. After a review of my finances and a bit of weighing up options about needing tyres anyway, I thought why not. Went down and picked them up and fitted them today.

Love how they look and I am so glad that I have not bought a set of bloody Turinis. Never have been a sheep as I think my car testifies.


So hopefully you're all still wondering what chav wheels they are. The spinners are still on their way.

OZ Super Turismo GTs. Just waiting for the guy to get the carbon centre caps for me and then I'll post up some proper pics. Just not good at keeping secrets. lol.

Think they suit the car so much and they are so much lighter than the old Cup wheels.

Comments welcome. :rasp:

Love them mate, I wouldn't call them chav wheels they are far too expensive for them to afford

 

[MikeB]

They look really nice mate good work!

 

[Curtis!]

Suits silver really well dude, nice!

 

[lau2908]

i have these on my 182 love them

 

[Jamie]

Look ok. The reason people fit Turinis is because they look good. I'm yet to see another set of wheels which look better on a Clio Sport 172 or 182. The OZ F1 in 16" also look excellent but I do no rate many others.

 

[Daniel]

Love it!

[st3ve]

Nay bad, 17's?

 

[danjf]

look good.bit big for my taste

 

[Pete.]

They're still 16s and a 45 profile.

Cheers for the positive comments, I'm loving the look and has made me want to keep the car at a time when I was beginning to think about changing the car.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Different anyway, think I quite like em.

 

[Addz]

not usually a fan of these but like them on yours! Maybe lower the back down 10mm or so if you're on coilovers?

 

[.GAZ.]

They look big for 16's! Better than the 182 wheels by a country mile!

 

[Whiteley]

Never think SuperT's suit the Clio

 

[.Gem.]

I Like! Looks good.

Jamie, i'm assuming also because the Turini's are lighter then standard wheels people choose them and some manufacturers spec. them on certain 'fast cars'. Scooby Impreza's / Mitsu Lancer Evos.

Superleggeras in 16" (7J) weigh 6.4kg...

Better steering response and so on, unsprung weight...blablabla...

On-Top.: Not a fan of that much spokes (radial)... on the Superturismos.
Nonetheless you're happy and that's what counts.

 

[Rob]

Quite like that actually, very nice

 

[Speedlover]

Nice one PJ

Like it, one day we will see you in the flesh again eh!!

 

[VeinAST]

Never liked the 182 wheels on it for some reason!

Nice move

 

[Christopher]

Not a fan. Too delicate.

The Turini looks good because it's a hard-looking c*nt. They look too feminine.

Do you know where from and how much?

 

[Pete.]

They are £46.99 from some guy on Ebay with 3.99 p&p. These are coming direct from OZ and will be setting me back £40.00 as he is prepared to let me have them at cost.

 

[TimR26]

Looks good Pete, much better than the 182 wheels.

 

[clio_luke]

preret ultras, lighter and better looking imo.
still nice wheels tho and not turinis

 

[Christopher.]

sorry pete but its a no for me sorry, far to many spokes for my liking

 

[Pete.]

Alright Chris. Twice as many spokes as the original 8 spokes but only 4 more than Turinis.

 

[Jun]

I'm a fan of superturismo's. I think it looks good.

 

[danjf]

oh theyre 16's?they look bigger

 

[Chili Red]

They do look bigger than 16s. Probably the nicest aftermarket rim after Turinis IMO.

I wonder what they'd look like in black or amphasite (sic).

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

Sorry mate just not my bag but different strokes and all that.

 

[Naith]

offft they look good

not sure if they would be on mine if i had one but need to see them in reality to decide

 

[DMS]

I quite like them but I think they'll definitely look better with the centre caps. They do look bigger than 16" too.

 

[Steviant]

Really like them. Need more pics, different angles etc.

Even better in white, for the WRC look.

Even better when they are moving...

 

[Ben_Stevo172]

Bloody hell they look big for 16"! Look more like 17's! I think they look really smart! DON'T paint them White though on a silver car, just won't look right IMO. They look much better than the standard cup alloys.

 

[Anonymous]

Tbh I think these look better on valvers, much prefer the Super L's in anthracite on silver Mk2's

[Fletcher]

Not bad Pete.

I still prefer sheep's feet though

 

[Pete.]

There can only ever be one Fletcher mobile . I tried and failed to emulate it so went for a different route.

 

[Tigger]

Looks nice Pete

 

[J182sport]

Mine when i had the 182.in MATT black, you got a nice set of wheels!

I look forward to seeing them in the metal mate
