​

Out of those 2 Id keep it standard, at least it doesn't look like you did it on purpose

 

[SWJames]

Neither are standard?

 

[imprezaworks]

You know what he means. And neither, choose some more. Oh and wrong section

 

[Mar172]

The ph2 wheels

 

[-J-]

Out of those 2 I would go for the second set, 172.

 

[Chi]

Sell them both and get something decent...

 

[SWJames]

I know I do, sorry! And that's not helpful haha

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol. We're only joking matey. Out of the two, the ph2 wheels. Car looks nice dude

 

[Chi]

I got same on my van Genuine Renault IMO, might look better from a distance..

 

[Matt W]

The 172 wheels look nice against the paint colour. The other ones are the definition of Chav.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ph2 wheels, a touch lower and done

^^ what I meant to say

 

[SWJames]

Only thing isbthat the ph2 wheels will need spacers :/ and a touch lower would mean new shocks and springs or coil overs

 

[imprezaworks]

Spacers arnt a bad thing mate. No idea what the rest of the car looks like but it would look great lowered. I appreciate its all about money etc

 

[Thrust-Rated]

172 wheels deffo. Why do you need spacers though? I never bothered when I had 172 alloys on my 1.2 and it was fine.

 

[DaveDreads]

172 wheels, the others are gashment of the highest order!

 

[SWJames]

They look so tucked in, don't know if the fronts will as I've only got one wheel on ATM but the rears look terrible! And it probably does need lowering but £400 on coil overs in feasible ATM as I need to get a new bonnet and the 172 rear bumper spayed.

 

[JCC]

172 wheels.

 

[Cub.]

172 wheels

 

[Thrust-Rated]

They'll look fine. Doesn't need lowering straight away. Could always get eibach sportlines for it. They give a slight drop

 

[SWJames]

It's already dropped 40mm, eibach's only drop 35mm IIRC

 

[XT3MPZX]

172 wheels

 

[Thrust-Rated]

It's already dropped 40mm, eibach's only drop 35mm IIRC

It'll be fine then

 

[SWJames]

Just dropped a house mate out in it and still only had one of the 172 alloys on but when cornering to the left it was rubbing. On the inner arch I assume. Has anyone else had this with these wheels? And i guess its just an excuse for spacers

I think when you start modding a car you are only going to lose value end of the day. esp on a dci just leave it the way it is IMO

 

[rdoxenham]

172 wheels!

 

[Andyman]

Throw the BK Halfords specials in the bin. Terrible looking cheap tat. 172 wheels by a mile

Too late for this unfortunately. Cars aren't about making profit or holding value to me. Yes this car owes me more than what I would ever get if I sold up but quite frankly it's a hobby and it's my hobby and hobbies cost! Some people play football, some box but me I like to detail cars and modify my own.

 

[plymcl172]

fair enough just hope you don't waste too much money on it! I would just do the cheapest mods going to make the car your own and build up the no claims till you can get a Renaultsport or something along those lines

quick question! My clio mk3 has standard wheels on just now, they are either 15 or 16 inch... now, there is other standard wheels that I much prefer and are 1 inch bigger and I am trying to lay my hands on a set. Will these new wheels, when I get them, affect the speedo much?

​Just get lower profile tyres so total diameter stays the same..

 

[JackJack]

172 wheels.

 

[rk2009]

The first ones are horrible mate, definitely the 172 wheels, either as they are or sprayed!
