197 on v6 alloys

[Knuckles]

stole the images from HOLLA, hope you don't mind

what think?

half way through, i realised... are they even the same fitment?

 

[Ash.]

I like the grey ones!

 

[Scrooge]

I don't like that.

 

[.Ben.]

They look gash.

 

[Knuckles]

really? i thought they looked quite good

 

[Scrooge]

May aswell buy super turismos mate. They just don't seem to suit it

 

[Porkie]

s**t

 

[imprezaworks]

nah look carp imo

 

[Italian_Job]

looks good imo

im not looking to get any, i just wondered what it'd look like and tbh... im procrasitnating lol

I saw a 197 with the Megane 225 wheels on, they looked nice but not those V6 above.

 

[Knuckles]

arent they the same wheels? (raiders) the only difference is 1''

and is that the black one that had the black wheels and it was slammed

 

[Silent_Scone]

Unsure on that. Mainly no.

I thought the V6 wheels were more 'Spokey' I could be entirely wrong (probably am). IIRC it was a black one, maybe they just suited a black car over red.

 

[welshname]

They look good.

But the best wheels I've ever seen on a 197 are these.

 

[Knuckles]

Unsure on that. Mainly no.

just double checked

225 have bigger '182' alloys and 230s have the raiders? or am i still wrong?

cant get away with those wheels on many things, i think the black doesnt help either lol

Posting in here so i remember to come back and see the image after i get home (some pics dont come up on my works pc)

The rear wheels may be too wide if anyone did think of doing it? Plus the hassle of trying to find a set, they're like hens teeth and fortune from renault if they could get them (unlikely)!

 

[Dan519]

I REALLY like them in silver

could you not just buy 17/18'' o.z super turismos in 197 fitment?

This is a far better combination (looks wise, not handling wise) :

 

[HOLLA]

No worries mate. I prefer the speedlines though

 

[Knuckles]

that black one looks awesome because of the stance... but also ridiculous/ruined because of the stance

 

[Poopensharten]

nah look carp imo

Hence my comments

Simoximo's 197 on 197.net is the best all round 197 imo.

 

[Knuckles]

which is that? cant remember him off the top of my head

Hmmm... Im not sure on them. Look too big.

Superlegs would be better.

[Knuckles]

not my cuppa

its nice dont get me wrong, just not 'shouty' enough for me

brilliant spec list though!

what bhp is it putting out?

 

[dmallett]

V6 ones look gash, those OZ's looking brilliant though!

Ah that's the one I had in my head, personally think it looks great, but as above I would expect it to handle poorly.

 

[Scott™]

Looks awful.

Lol. My spalling sometimes

LOL.

 

[ColinG]

Crazy fitment on the v6 the fronts are 7" wide with offset 6, rears are 8.5" wide with offset 68 lol!

As above no longer available from Renault, I've just managed to find a brand new boxed full set so I'm a happy bunny!

Regular OZ superT will be the easiest option, but something in the above pic just doesn't look right to me, prefer the r26 wheels on the 197/200

 

[Craig.]

just double checked

225 have bigger '182' alloys and 230s have the raiders? or am i still wrong?

Half wrong lol, 225s have the 182 style, the R26's have the Cup spec wheels like on the black 197 above & the raiders wheels are from the Megane R26R.

 

[Dan...]

I don't think they look that bad
