What wheels for my Iceberg 172 ?

[D1CKY]

I am seriously thinking about a new set of wheels for my Iceberg 172 thats lowered on Eibach Sportlines.

The reason for the change is my standard Ff wheels are all in need of a refurb and two of them need tyres so thought f**k it as i have the cash i'll treat myself

And they have to be 16".

But dunno what to go for or where to buy them.

I was looking at these.

Or The good old Clio Favourite.

Turini's

http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2145

What do people think i should go for and i dont want to spend more than £800 (or the cheaper the better) ?

Pics would be good if possible.

Heres a pic of my car as it is the now for reference.

if i was you i would look for some grey turini i think they look very good on silver clios

keep it standard son! you know it makes sense!

 

[D1CKY]

keep it standard son! you know it makes sense!

That thought did run through my mind as there heaps of 172's with Turinis :S

I was just unsure to refurb them the standard colout or in anthracite.

So i guess its a case of.

Standard wheels refurbed standard colour
Standard wheels refurbed antharcite

or

New wheels ?

Ur clio looks mint as it is, no need to change a thing!

 

[Daz.]

exact same car exact same problem fella - the more I look at it though the more I want to keep it as it is!

Seen some anthracite 172 alloys but could do with some more shots to make my mind up!

 

[rory182]

16" Oz F1 cups?

Or refurb what you've got in anthracite. In fact anthracite 182 wheels would prob look nice with iceburg as opposed to the usual Titanium

 

[Craig]

^ good shout they look mint in 16s

 

[rory182]

^Dan's cup in Iceberg

R20 CWH has anthracite turinis on his.

 

[Andyman]

Dont see the point in going the Turini route. Its like changing stock for stock their that popular!

Fitting alloy wheels used to be about standing out, isnt this still the point of them?

Id personally go light weight, maybe something Jap as they fit the clio's i belive

I'd keep the standard 5 spokes, in either silver or like Turners anthracite.

I'm actually thinking about getting my 5 spokes refurbed, and putting them back on my 172 again.

 

[D4N13L]

Im going for turinis on mine, but it was a toss up between those and some oz superleggerras

 

[Jamie]

I have gone for Turinis to.

Was someone selling those wheels in the first pic a few weeks ago - take a look you may be in luck.

 

[Slammed172]

If you have 800quid, i would, get some coilies, slam it, and get a refurb, and get some tyres, can all be done within 800, and will look the b****cks.

 

[halla26]

I'd go for grey versions of what you have currently, the grit, ice and dirt combo have made my front ones grey and I'm not to sure if I actually want to clean them

 

[.GAZ.]

standard wheels and refurb in standard colour!! DONE!

+1

Maybe coilovers with the money left over?

 

[D1CKY]

I may actually leave the standard wheels on after seeing this pic

Anyone any ideas, what colour they are ?

And another thing i suppose is Turini's are everywhere i'm starting to think. :dapprove:

What kind of coilovers for that price ?
With what i have left over i mean after a refurb and new tyres ?

I'll probabaly have about £400-£500 to spend on Coilies.

 

[Sam]

keep them standard all the way!

I'd go for koni / eibach setup personally unless you want it very low. Very underrated

Wand what kind of Koni's ?

Just the yelllow shocks ?

And will it drop it any ?
As if no i aint to fussed i'm happy with the stance at the moment.

 

[rory182]

yellow adjustable konis aye but use eibach pro line or eibach sport line springs for a drop. The koni springs arent so good.

Pro lines will give 15-20mm drop without compromising on ride quality.

Sport lines will drop it maybe 25-30mm

 

[alex-avfc]

Standard wheels refurbed standard colour! It looks quality as it is dont change it lol

 

[the_prophet]

i have the anthra turini's on mine and to be honest, i want them silver now. that pic a few posts up on standard ones does look stunning mind.

it doesnt bother me that everyone has them they look gd and i like them. so its whatever floats your boat.

heres a pic anyway

Ok cheers bud.

I'm running Sportlines at the moment anyway with standard shock and the rides suprisingly good.

Who stocks Koni's ?

Thanks :approve:

Pretty much standard apart from wheels, ITG panel, Remap and the bullets front diamond painted. They were done by Mish on here so not sure how easy was to do, but i'm pretty sure they are a Rover Grey. They match wheels pretty well anyway. for the time being....

 

[Peperami]

Amphasite 182 wheels looked ace on turners before... thats what id go for, keep it on the sportlines too.

I'd best get on the net and find out where to get Rover Grey paint

Do you think the antharcite 182 wheels would look alright on a non 182 ?

I'm dubious, everyone will think i'm trying to make a 182 replica and cant afford this exhaust

 

[D1CKY]

Bump

I'm open to new opinions as i'm looking at new wheels again as i'm still undecided on refurbing the standard 127ff wheels in there standard silver or antharcite :S

 

[Brasseye]

silver

 

[D1CKY]

silver

The standard FF wheels in silver you mean ?

I'd run a poll but don't know how
