I see your other thread and I must admit, I'm not a fan of the 182 wheels in purple. They look nice in standard colour but due to the shape of them I don't think they suit anything other than play safe colours (black, silver, anthracite) imo.
How you finding the v-maxx? What else is planned?
One of a friends rb197. The car looks so clean! (Not my car obvs but I took the pic)

197s don't feel as raw as the 182s. The 182s feel more chuckable. Acceleration is pretty much the same but the 197 feels more comfortable getting to 80mph than the 182s. Mpg is around 28 on the 197s and 35 on the 182s with combined driving. (All in my opinion comparing mine, a friends standard...
Modifying is an expensive game matt. Looking toward to seeing this once the kw's are on. Youll have to give your option on them compared to the h&r springs.
Whats these other "bits and bobs" you got?

Haha, I'm only joking mate :)
I washed my wheels yesterday after about a month :o The only downfall with them is that when yet get wet they seem to go rusty on the inside of the looking wheel nut groove :( Just a little heads up if your...
To nice to strip and track. It does still looks awesome :)
Ah mate that's bad luck. But in your defence your all covered due to it being under year'd and under miles before its due. Guess its sold as seen.
Re: my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )
Jon got it right. The larger the et number the smaller the offset and vice versa.
Oh and you forgot to add TPI bolts to that list ;)
Re: my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )
Whoa! Lucky call there mate, that coulda been nasty!
I checked my wheels and thought they were the same offset but mine are et43 :(
Got my tax sorted :) Got roiling road in a weeks time be nice to see what power it makes. Treated the car to a full tank of Vpower and going to change the oil after work tomorrow if the weathers is ok so it should (fingers crossed) be running ok come Saturday.

Get some pics up of the spacers if you get a chance please. I'm interested in the same size all round (although not for a while) so it'll be good to see how much the push the 2118s out.
What offset are yours?
What would the difference be money wise by selling the rs, then buying a trophy, then Vegas?
How much change would you have once the hols is over and the rs is gone but the trophy still remains?
After looking at my dials i decided that the "RS" stickers were too large so i got Ady (n2grafix) to get some smaller ones made.

I decided that the largest one was too big. I still decided you use the silver one as a shadow and have the red one overlapping...
There's someone selling an 197 wheel on here for £90 iirc. Nice upgrade if you want oem+

Renault quoted me £350 for a brand new 182 wheel so I got mine refurbed by snappy on here.
