Car  Clio 172 ph2
So got myself a set of 15" Matt Black Pro Race 1.2.... just got 2 problems.

1/ It's still winter and I don't really want to fit them yet...

B/ I'm running standard shocks on Eibach springs. Think I might need coilovers...

So... What do I do?

All suggestions welcome...
 
Who cares what time of year it is, they belong outside, as intended by the manufacturer.

They're wheels, not a puppy.

Fire them on and drive it, like a man.
 
Personally i wouldnt put them on














Sell them to me for half what you paid for them please, ideal track wheels


Thanks :)

I would disagree...

Some people put their puppies outside in the winter... and they clearly don't belong there.

So... why would you want to scratch your shiny wheels up on gritty/salty/muddy roads when it's dark pretty much most of the time? Keep them indoors until the spring and then fit them when the weather improves.

Your car looks better on the 16" anyway IMO.

Haha.... As if!!!

Think I'm gonna fit them for 7 days.... If I think I need coilovers, I'll take them off and wait out! Cheers guys.... Oh... and they're not for sale!!!! Haha
 
Are they a direct fit? Most popular in ford pcd aren't they?

I wouldn't worry about putting them or coilovers - spacers first ;)
 
I'll pop into my Uncle's place next weekend and get the car on the ramp. Wheels off and on in 5 minutes.... then pics up for a debate! Will update Saturday afternoon and see what the consensus is.....

First rule of cliosport.net club, no jokes :) Just stick them on mate, sure they will be fine
 
Here's a snap of mine on sportlines to give you an idea of how they sit. I'd put them on now, see how you feel. Winter's not gonna be that harsh on 'em!!
