Why are you lot doing this to me lol! Actually not a bad idea.

I've seen the stickers on E Bay, again colour choice is key. Worried something like yellow would look a bit like colour marking the tyre make name in white. They do the OE Speedline blue, black, grey which could be a choice

I'm gonna try white first, it's the colour of choice I wanted to go with based on the above cup racer photo and the white cup race car on white Turinis. 99% in my mind it works the other 1% says a clash with the blade and side trims.... We'll see, half the fun should be in the working out.

Like I said earlier I must be missing something or getting older as EVERYONE is saying stay GOLD. It's like I'm the only one not seeing the biggest trend out at the moment. I still say white but knows what will happen. I'll paint one, put a tyre on and fit them... And hate it, there's nothing...

Everyone's raving about them looking good in gold with the LY.... I just don't get it, well I don't see it, maybe I'm missing something. I was all set to go white with them but now tempted to put a tyre on the wheel then fit back on again to see what's its like. As for tyres I might go with a...

Lol I did wonder, at least the tyres will be cheaper.

Excuse my French, but f**k me they're close!! But work! So there's a 45mm gap between the rear strut and the inner part of the wheel. Up front there's a 13mm gap between the strut and the wheel, the 8J brings the rim closer to the strut so there's absolutely no tolerance for them to go in any...

As they came on 17s std and I'm lowered on Cooksports I think I could get away with it... But yeah I am tempted to go 18s

Typical, they're done but it's lashing down with rain so I'll try them tomorrow.

Appreciate that Chris, so in a round about way it seems the 8J works with the offset by asking a company on FB who are selling Turinis in 18".Trouble is I'm tempted to go up to 18s now! So my 8J with ET49 could work on paper..... Fingers are crossed still

Brilliant thread, an enjoyable read through. It's certainly been testing at times for you but commend the effort gone in to keep them both on track. Subscribed for updates, love threads like these.

Cheers Mark, I get the feeling I might need to drop it a bit more on the 17s.

Thats the plan, I think they'll look good in white against the LY. Something different but not lairy in colour.

Neither, for some reason the engineering shop have that sign on the wall. I'm paying a company to machine the centres for me. I've DIY painted a few wheels over the wheels and I'll paint these ones too, only if they work out on the Clio otherwise I'll just sell them on

Noooo! Ignore the sign, I'm doing them myself too.

Dropped a pair off at the wheel place after work today and will be ready for the same time Tomorrow. If I wasn't so busy tomorrow evening I would have trial fitted them, so Thursday it is.

They look pretty good as a wheel...

I believe the Megane offsets are worse then the EDC? ET60s, saying that the Subaru wheels tend to have a higher ET than most (around the 50 mark) so they'll stick out half inch more but not past the arch. Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Mazda are 5x114.3. The only downside I've found is most of the...

What do you have that's 5x114.3 per chance? Ideally I wish the Turinis were 18" so I could just swap the tyres over, nether the less the Clio comes on 17s as std so I know it will work. Rally track wheels for Vauxhalls are ten a penny too, I found this when buying OZ tarmac wheels for the Clio...

Just to enlarge the centre bore, as the wheels are there he said he can skim the rears at the same time for a little extra. He did say a one off would be nearer £40 so I imagine that's the time in setting up the machine, once it's done he can just crack on with the other 3. From my crude...

I was thinking Friday after work :smile:

Just booked the wheels to go in tomorrow after work, £25 each to have the centrebores machined out. Its a next day pick up so hopefully Thursday latest

Me too! Itching to trial fit them so I'm calling the engineering company tomorrow to get them in hopefully for Tuesday. I think white will make the difference, I think they need to be that opposed to black or anthracite otherwise I feel they'll be 'just' another wheel.... But not whacky in colour.

He was surprised I was travelling up from Essex! To be fair I had a result as he actually lives in North Wales but agreed to drive an hour to Shrewsbury to make the deal. He did say in the ad he'd be willing to travel a certain distance. You don't get if you don't ask and for what it costs in a...

As always, the photos look amazing. Looking forward to hooking up again for another day out.... Or night.

I'm thinking outside the box Ian, I want to try something different. No one's really changed wheels on the EDC apart from Tom Cazneaux with the HLTs, I fancy a change in appearance and think the Turinis will do that.

I do like the TDs but as soon as I offered up the Turinis next to them they just looked bigger as the spokes run right to the edge. Fingers crossed

What tipped it for me was seeing this

Definitely worth it for what I paid for the 6 of them. They're around £180-200 each new, even with the machining I'm still quids in.

Thats good to know if I need it, more so on the back as the fronts have more tolerance in the arches. OE wheel 7.5Jx18 ET55 Speedline 8Jx17 ET49 TD Pro Race 7Jx17 ET40 The TDs do work, my number crunching on the Speedlines suggest they'll stick out another 6-8mm than the TDs... Which is just...
