17 or 15 inch alloys?

[clancy]

do you think 17" alloys will look crap on mk2 or should i get 15" ones? theres are the ones im thinking of ordering http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/B...olished_Alloy_Wheels_with_205_40_17_tyres.php,

any opinions welcome



cheers, leigh

Not a fan of those, but 15"

 

[SC03OTT]

17" look massive the majority of the time. Go with 15", with 16" being a maximum.

Not a fan of the wheel though, but it's your choice.

 

[jack_kemp]

Those wheels are terrible, but if you like them, definitely get 15's. 17's look ridiculous on Clio's.

 

[clancy]

yeah i thought 17s might be a bit over the top, my choice is down to those alloys or these : http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/4x_15_Inch_Dotz_Chronos_Black_Polished_Alloy_Wheels_With_195.php
what you recon to them?

cheers, leigh

if its a non sport then 17 are my preference i had 17 kei force 10's in anthracite they looked frickin lush, 15 on a sport all day long!! im rocking pro race 1's they dont look too small in 15 guise.

^^^ im sorry but you have terrible wheel taste but if they make you happy then thats all that count innum.

 

[SC03OTT]

You're onto a loser on here with anything other than Turinis lol.

I'm a big fan of these. No idea if they are within your budget though.

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

the only oz wheel i'd have would be the original superleggera ^^^ too angular

cheers, leigh

15"

 

[Simf40]

17's would look ok if you lowered it so it fills the arches propperly, but you would get a harder ride than 15's and loose acceleration + mpg
could get a photoshop of how each wheel could look on your car and go fom there?

 

[clancy]

yeah was thinking of doing that but may just go for the 15s and save a few pennys

 

[ripp]

get a second hand ultraleggeras or speedline 2118 in 15", get them refurbed if the case, buy some eibach springs and that's it

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

17" for show, 15" for go

 

[Stuiemc]

Bite your tongue and keep saving. Youll only wish you did after youve bought some on a budget. Well worth the wait too.

Plus it goes without saying youll always get a better return back of a decent set, and you may even get a second look from passer bys

 

[Clio_Al]

I have gone with 15".

the only down side with this is i think there is a little to much arch space so im going to get sum lowering springs.

so maybe 16"

 

[clancy]

think im gonna go with a set of these, 15" and lower it a bit

 

[Goodj]

17" for show, 15" for go

this.

also, tyres will be a lot cheaper on 15's!

 

[Goodj]

think im gonna go with a set of these, 15" and lower it a bit

are there any nicer ones you can find?

 

[clancy]

not really, id like to get black ones to go for the all black look and for the money i wanna spend these are the nicest ones i can find really. theres a few i like more like the OZ ones above i just simply cant afford them

 

[Inferno]

What about team dynamics pro race 1's?

 

[Goodj]

how's about getting some used Ph1 172 alloys and having them refurbed & powder coated?

 

[clancy]

websites telling me the team dynamic ones wont fit my car, might be that there out of stock though dunno. yeah i was thinking about getting them alloys and getting them coated but i cant find any of the damn things

 

[wozzaa]

Other people have 1.2's on them. They can be ordered in pretty much any bolt pattern and offset you want.

Had some made for the C4 took around 6 weeks to get them.

 

[Struggler]

I had 17s,
they make the car sit far too high off the floor,
also they swamp the breaks making them look tiny!! not a good look

as for the choice on wheels, you're defs onto a loser on this site,
cliosport isnt into larey wheels, more subtle wheels ftw!!

personally id keep an eye on the for sale section for a nice set of second hand wheels,
might even get a set of turini's for £450!

or at least some OZ F1s, stick with the OEM+ look, youll be greatful you did! (i went off my 17s after a year, binned them and bought some 15s. car trends change, OEM+ will stay the same, big wheels are very 200*'s! lol)
and i defs saw a set of white supperlageras go on there for around the 450 mark!

basically what im saying is, go second hand if your budget isnt good enough,
just make sure theyve been well looked after!

 

[justin_]

what about rota track r?? in 15s

 

[franx]

the only oz wheel i'd have would be the original superleggera ^^^ too angular

second that

 

[franx]

oh yes, there are two sets of OZ SUPER leggeras for sale in the parts section !!!!
