Awesome updates, the kind of build qualities I imagine a lot of people have in their minds they'd like to do but don't have the facilities etc to carry out.

Halfords it is! Thanks for the heads up, I assumed it was just the stuff on the shelves. Which surprised me the other day, they're still selling the same paint colours for Rover Leyland cars after all this time.

I've not had them done yet, I'll look into having LY mixed up into an aerosol can. I think there's a company local to me that supply bodywork shops their paint that can do it

As I have 2 wheels spare I might give something different like that a go once the other 4 are done.

Now that IS brave! It would need to be specially made and would cost a fortune I imagine. I've been quoted £220 for a 4 wheel refurb, I imagine pre mixed LY would be around £15-20 each. Let's roll with the white for now 🙈

A dusting of white primer this evening, hopefully if I have time I'll trial fit on the Clio this Sunday to get an idea of how it looks

Oh well, here goes 🙈

I'm soo busy but absolutely itching to spray a wheel now just to get an idea!

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:
