What colour is the car?! Probably silver being a mk1? Anthracite (grey) wheels look great on some colours, but bad on others. Get someone to photoshop a pic then you can see first...

Im in too...

Ive known of it being done before...

To post a set of alloys shes sold... Well the Turini wheels are a bit lighter, so a 17" Turini will probably be about the same as a 16" mk2 172 one!

Yeah, the Fiat Coupe is not as unreliable as you think... Lets face it, Renault are sh!te in that area!

No offence, but theres a massive difference between getting the power down in a 1.2 and in a 2.0 mate... The extra power and torque are a big problem!

Need a flat bit of road to measure mine on...

Bet my R5 GT Turbo is lower. ;) Will measure it...

However their Greenstuff ones suck!

Just looks like an S14a with a set of nice wheels on...

Yeah, 205s will fit 15" x 7J rims fine...

Had mine on a couple of times recently when it was foggy, thats the only time and to be honest they do f*ck all anyway... The yellow ones on the R5 kinda work ok in fog though.

Yeah, Ive seen an independant test that showed 98.3 RON, so its good stuff...

Yeah, 1/4 mile in 14.5secs @ 94mph can back that up too... ;) There were also two totally boggo low milage 172s on the rollers with me, both made 144bhp @ wheels, which is 169bhp @ fly, which is cunningly 172ps! :o Also, there torque figures were 142lb/ft @ fly and 144lb/ft @ fly...

Doh! :oops:

Not really... Its 172ps and 147lb/ft of torque (@ fly) for a standard car. My Cup has 174bhp and 152lb/ft of torque (@ fly), although it has got a Viper fitted.

She only asked for the wheel... ;) Anyway, this may help >>> http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.htmlhttp://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Id go for white Turinis out of those 2 choices...

Well you NEED 98 octane fuel to get the quoted power & torque from the 172 engine... ;)

Theyve stopped making them too, so I couldnt get more for the Rallye... Do it, you wont regret it!

I very much doubt youll see much, if any performance difference by going to a 205 tyre, but you should get more traction, and if Renault decided to fit them to the 182 there must be no problems... They really are superb in the wet, and I could get all the power down in the Rallye no probs!

They will run on 95 octane fuel, but its "recommended" you run on 98 octane...

The mk2 rims are 16" diameter by 7" wide, so in metric... Diameter = 406.4mm Width = 177.8mm

Tell me about it... I kerbed an alloy over Xmas and I was really p!ssed off!!! :@

Yes, they will fit the standard rims perfectly, and in fact the new 182 comes with 205s as standard, so theres not a problem. As for the S-02s get them, get them NOW!!! Had a set of these on my 306 Rallye and they are by far the best tyres Ive ever had on a car!

Nope... Oddly its cheaper than SUL even though its higher octane?! My cars always run on Optimax, or SUL if I cant get to a Shell garage, as some cars (like the 172 & Cup) need high octane fuel.

Nice... I am a big fan of white wheels, and I had white Speedline Chronos on my dark met blue 106 GTi which looked the nuts! :D

The official weight from Renault is 17kg for a mk2 172 alloy & tyre!

That depends on the pad... Ive had ones that need warming up to work, and others that work very well even from cold.

NO!!! Do NOT use engine oil in your gearbox... Get it drained ASAP and re-fill with proper gearbox oil, probably SAE80
