Clio Alloys - What model are they from?

[Smoestar]

Hi,

I have a set of Clio alloys which I need identifying if possible.

I have asked Renault and they are not 100% sure, but said most likely a 182 and the closest match they found was the 182 Trophy alloys - but the 182's have 11 spokes, but my alloys have 13 spokes.

Any ideas???

 

[Hainesy.]

Surely their turini's

 

[SC03OTT]

There are two to many spokes to be Turinis I think. I count 13 on that wheel, but 11 on the Turnini. I'm happy to be corrected however, as I'm not 100% sure.

 

[Renshaw]

what size are they?? possibly from a V6 maybe

 

[Smoestar]

I think they are 15's - will have to check when I get home.

V6's had an extra nut me thinks?

I thought they were the Turinis at first - but they have 2 extra spokes which through me!

Interesting one! I think all Turinis have 11 spokes, you're right, as pictured:



Are yours a 16" rim? I have a feeling they could be another brand, not Speedline, with an aftermarket Renault centrecap? I'm sure they're not V6 wheels, as these have 16 spokes and are a 17" rim IIRC!

Are they not 197 wheels?

 

[SC03OTT]

Are they not 197 wheels?

They have an indentation running down each spoke.

* And yes, V6/197 wheels have 5 stud set-up!

These look like megane wheels

Edit: whats the part number? numbers on the alloy?

 

[Smoestar]

197 also have 5 nuts? I think

They were bought directly from Renault a couple of years ago by my bro - but he cant remember what they are.

And Renault arent too sure themselves! This is the part code on the box:

Scrap that.

No wait, I was right. Page 8: http://www.renault.co.za/vn/modus/brochure/Modus-Brochure-Large.pdf

Reference Storm Mag Rim 15 Inch: 7711 224 426 REN

They don't look the same though. Wrong box for the wheel?

 

[Smoestar]

Yeah I saw that page earlier today SC03OTT but didn't think they matched up exactly with mine

 

[TM.]

Ah yes, http://www.renault.co.za/brochure/megane_berline_4_portes/Sedan-Brochure-Large.pdf,

Look at Page 8/9...

 

[Chris_786]

Mk3 1.6 wheels aparently according to google and as Russian renault forum.

 

[TM.]

LOLZ @ everyone finding the web page at the same time...

 

[Smoestar]

So we settling on the Storm Mags then? lol

I can't seem to find any UK reference to them at all

 

[TM.]

If they are then you've got something pretty unique! What are you putting them on?

 

[Smoestar]

Well unlike my profile says I don't own my 197 Cup anymore, but 2 days ago bought a P Reg 1.4 Clio RT 5-door - and was clearing out the loft and found these! so was going to chuck them on that, but thought I would do some research first - and now found this out.

Don't think my RT is worthy of these lol

 

[TM.]

Fair one! Well like I say it's not your usual Turinis/Speedlines alot of Clios have fitted, so even on an RT they'd look alright (if they fit?!)

EDIT: Just make sure it doesn't look like this

 

[Smoestar]

found them on the megane brochure as well - http://www.renault.co.za/brochure/megane_berline_4_portes/Sedan-Brochure-Large.pdf

again only on the south african site! no where else to be found!

 

[Smoestar]

It's a silly 5-door though, so wouldn't do them any justice in the slightest lol. I am looking to swap it for a 3-door if I can find one though.

I need to stay with a cheap clio as I am skiiiiint at the mo

Can't promise anything!! haha

Nah, I was only going to put them on the RT as they are nicer than the hub caps I have at the moment lol. Wasn't planning on modding the 5-door in anyway!
