It's on GAZ golds (were on the Clio when I bought it) but waiting on a different set to arrive any day now.
Appreciate the comments so far :) as mentioned track wheels but I like them enough to keep them on now. Now thinking of trading in the Trophy Turinis for another set of 15s
Fitted new rear discs spacers on the RB today, so a perfect opportunity to fit the primer grey OZs and give it a wash. It actually feels a better ride on the 15s than the 16" Turinis so i'm now thinking of getting shot of them.

And check that the spacers (or deflectors as Renualt call them) are present.
Definitely buy genuine Renault rear discs with std pads, front depending on what you do I'd say Brembo HC discs and std pads.
Correct :D
About an hour to flat all 4, half hour to mask the tyres, couple of hours to paint and flat back once, about an hour to lacquer all 4.
Sprayed them in the garden and the store room, a tad windy too :o
As mentioned they're a track wheel at the moment so it's a tidy up, a couple of...
Agreed for going on track, would you say Turinis would be a fair swap for 2118s? Or would Turinis (knowing they're discontinued) hold a higher value than 2118s and OE 182 wheels. I'd put the 182s at the bottom in terms of value but think Renault got it right looks wise with the anthracite colour
With the wheels mentioned what would you put as top, middle and bottom. Or best to worst?
Or in value would you say Trophy Turinis are worth more than the OE anthracite 182 wheel? Speedline 2118 wheels the same value as Turinis? I know there are scenarios like tyre makes so say the 16s had...
I've done enough sets of these over the last 2 -3 years, when a set came up in a breakers yard last week i couldnt say no to buying them but also vowed NEVER to spray any more........... Until i popped in the store room yesterday and saw some paint cans left over. Anyway, i needed 1 tin of...
Pre scrolling down and reading the first post i was thinking Pah, Vauxhall, BUT it's not too shabby. With the black and diamond cut wheels it looks (dare i say it) new shape Megane esque in some ways. With the likes of the Scirroco and Megane maybe they feel they want some of the action. I've...
22mm long here, any good?

Awaiting new coilovers, these are seized so i can't adjust the ride height. It's not often you see these about so i bought them. The thing thats putting me off using them is having to refurb them, i've done 3 or 4 sets already and not sure i want to go through doing it all again :o
The other...
The glass on the foglight cracked so i popped down to the local Renault breaker to buy another, Lagunas use the same light so i took 1. As i went to walk out i saw these stacked up in the corner :D
TBH i don't know if 'll keep them but thought they'd be better off at home than the scrapyard...
I told you the RB is in good hands ;)
I wish I kept them but needed the coilovers, something had to go...... Toying with anthracite 2118s now
Love the Nurburgring pics Lewis, it's right at home there :)
RB 182 with stripes and white wheels. On the mountainbike and rode past this as it sat on a driveway on an unmade road behind the SEEVIC college, Thundersley.
A few people did take pics of it, it was the only 182 there and over the 4 days didn't see any other 182s on the roads in France and Belgium. I saw a couple of phase 1 Clio 172s that was it.
Love it, RB sticks out like a sore thumb.... In a good way :D
