Jamie, what was your problem with the Super Ls? Was it Damien who caused it??
When I had new wheels put on my last car, the wheel guys used metal valves, but on my new wheels they havent used them as now they dont recommend them. I also had metal valve caps with the Pug logo on and I lost...
Take your car to your local good garage as they like to see your modded cars, and as long as they use Renault replacement parts, your warranty isnt affected. If for some reason it has to go to the dreaded dealer, just take off the extra bits!
Jamie, as you will now know I went for the 17" ones as they looked better and also filled the arches much better than the 16" ones. The 17s with Toyos cost me £775, which was what Halfords quoted me for 16" with cheapo tyres!
SKIDZ at Falkirk were going to charge me £600 for the 16s, as...
Jamie, if you are going for 16" Super Ls, you will see that they only appear to be the same size as 15" wheels! If you want them to LOOK like 16" ones, go for 17s!!
adtmits, remind me where you are. Was it Manchester? If you were up here near Edinburgh I could have got you the same deal as I got from SKIDZ. Try Demon Tweeks again and tell them that you have got a bit better quote and see if they will come down a bit.
Without doubt Toyos are the best...
adtmits: I know someone who teaches at Mabbs Cross School in Wigan! Small world!
Why dont you try Demon Tweeks at Wrexham, not too far from you. They can get 17" but not 16s until at least July. If you couldnt get there, they deliver quite cheaply. Ring Damien direct on 01978 663 079 and...
Adtmits, where are you? I have just had 17" Super Ts fitted with Toyo Proxes and locking nuts for £770 but I am near Edinburgh. If you are thinking about 17" Super Ls, I must warn you that they appear smaller than their actual size.
I tried them on my black 172 last Saturday, and also put one...
Black172, thanks for that, I enjoyed the pictures, I love the wheels on the V6, they would look good on your black car. There were a lot of red 172s (a bit common!!) Your black looked much nicer.
Seeing BenPs message here about the bee sting aerial, and looking at some pictures in the gallery I noticed that the Mk2 172 has the aerial at the back of the car and the Mk1 has the aerial at the front. Why the change of position?
At last! The new wheels have been fitted today! My car looks great and I will take some pics tomorrow so that you can see which ones I have chosen! I got them from SKIDZ in Falkirk and Craig Scott says that if anyone from this website buys wheels and/or tyres from them, he will make sure that...
if you have the Demon Tweeks Performance Direct catalogue, they are on page 112, near the top of the page. Part no. ABCR-310/13109 and are in clear or smoke at £15.99 per pair. Direct dial John Harris on 01978 663 057 and he will know exactly what you want.
Too late Mat, as I have two lovely gleaming cars sitting outside. I polished both this afternoon and I have envious neighbours. But then one of them does have one of those ugly CTRs in drab silver. It would look better in black, and there is a red one just about a quarter of a mile away from...
