Advice

[william84]

I'm thinking of fitting some 17" wolfrace asia tec alloys to my clio.
I got them really cheap as they need a good refurb. As with me everything has a price so refurbishing will be done with rattle can ?.
I'm not looking for show quality just a refresh and OK under inspection.

I'm needing advice/ideas on colour.
I currently have black 182 wheels which I really do like.
Not sure how black would suit 5 spoke tho.

Here's a photo of 17"

[william84]

Is it on standard suspension?

 

[JB21]

It'll look chavvy as f**k!

 

[william84]

Yip all the chav mods going.
Tinted lights/windows.
Black diamond badges/bullets.
Lowered.
Black wheels.

Bin them.

Bin them.

any explanation?

 

[Crybert]

They look shite, won’t suit the clio, will make it look ‘chavvy’ and it won’t ride well.

no colour opinions then ?

 

[imprezaworks]

Silver anthracite or gold.

Black would look a bit w**k

Is it easier to run in expensive, lightweight trainers or cheap but heavy walking boots?

 

[william84]

When or if I track it I will get light weight wheels.
Do you ware trainers to climb a mountain or boots ?

Get 15's and live the dream

 

[william84]

just want a change I will be keeping original wheels to.
Don't like those multi spoke wheels that 99% of people have. something a little different.

Silver anthracite or gold.

Black would look a bit w**k

I changed from anthracite.
not sure about blue red and gold as my car is blue brakes are red.

[imprezaworks]

no it's lowered 40 or 50mm I think can't remember. Fitted them last year

 

[imprezaworks]

If it's lowered that much, chances are it may scrub.

Do them in a nice silver and see how it goes.

Then give it a few weeks and buy some 15's. There's a reason no one fits 17" wheels.

Tested them when I got them granted they where rough. They currently are finished in silver. So was thinking of painting 1 a different colour and testing. The one in the photo is in primer some flatting then ready for paint.

my 182 wheels are due some paint to as chips have started to bubble an peel

bullets are black now to its an old photo from few months back

Plenty of people fit 17" wheels

I can count all of their brain cells on one hand though

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Just stick with the original wheels and stick those wolf face things on eBay ?

I know this sounds like Urban Myth but I am certain that at one point I was speaking to someone who was either importing or knew the person importing Wolfrace wheels - and IIRC they only cost something like £20 a set to bring in... lol

That's £20 too much imo

miby.
I've heard the same about TV's etc..
I'm getting old now so weight handling etc.. Doesn't really matter as we have speed limits here. My days of having 2 speeds (stop and foot to the floor) have came and went.
just looking for something different.
an I like 5 spoke wheels so here I am with a set. ?
that's what I paid for these with 3 nearly new budget tyres an about 4mm on the other. Would have been madness to pass really.
