Valvers look sooooooo right on 172 Mk2 wheels.

Someone with an Iceburg valver NEEDS to get some in anthracite. And ill swap you for my 172.

Very nice, looks great on the 172 wheels

 

[Donnie Darko]

Loving that... i want to bin my 16" fox 1s and fit a set of 172 alloys...look cool on a valver

 

[Andyvalver]

I had the 172 wheels on mine. Do you think it f**ks up the handling? I hated them for that. They look good though but i like good handling and a faster car. Heres a pic of me phone...

I love Mk2 172 wheels on valvers, but i rember haering that they are the wrong offset, and mess the car up big time. True or not?

17s go on valvers no probs at all with a healthy drop!

as for mk2 172 wheels, yeah they look mint but as said are the wrong offset. You can sort this with spacers though

 

[JoelDee]

 

[J6OWEN]

Ive got spacers fitted on mine so it drives well

 

[SOHROB]

where u get spacers and how much ?

 

[Donnie Darko]

Spacers shag ur wheel bearings as you are widening the track plus bearing load!

exactly how did the wheels f**k up your handling?

They were on the car already mate so cant help ya!!!

 

[Waitey]

Whos is the other valver James? Would he like my 17s? They need a refurb though.

There are way too many valvers round here lol. It was good to see you had the same plan as us at scarbrough last night! aka drive around and around.

 

[JJ!]

had spacers on mine for a bit, took em right off - handling and feel was orrible!

 

[J6OWEN]

Its my mates he lives near malton, how much you wanting for ya 17s?

Yeah was a good night in scarborough did you see the valver wanna be? think it was a 1.4 or 1.2.

 

[Rich_16v]

They do look good on the valvers but the offset is way to high so tyre ware is huge

I had them on mine without spacers as a short term measure

IIRC you need 5mm spacers on the back to fit them properly but id never bother with wheels that needed spacers ive heard to many bad things about them

 

[1point2]

i think ive seen your car in Hull a few times, cant be that many valvers with 172 wheels in Yorkshire lol, looks sweet

Err £250 for all 5 of the the wheels.

Didnt see the valver wanna be sadly. Ive taught a blue valver wanna be in brid a good lesson though. They really should pretend that they have the power lol.

 

[Dan Page]

sweet as

172 wheels look really mint!

 

[J6OWEN]

Thats probably the same one mate cos this one was blue, just slightly lighter than the blue of my valver. (Check your Wanted post)
