Aftermarket wheels...

[Gary G]

First off, should i change my anthracite 182 rims or not? in terms of performance lighter ones would be better, but what is the general consenus on the looks of the 182 rim?

What are the options? They will have to be black/anthracite, preferably matt finish if black as im not overly keen on the gloss look of the team dynamics rims as it makes the tyres look crap. Also, they have to be performance orientated..nice and light

What is the standard offset of 182 (cupd) wheels? What sort of tolerence is there bearing in mind my car is pretty low.

What is the offset of the turinis? might pick up a set of these and get fred to do them in anthracite like gt_gazs??

cheers boys )

ET45 is standard mate. id stick to that you can widen the track with spacers if you feel the need but you cant take it off if the c*nt rubs (as leeds182 found out at some cost) cup turinis are a lower offset as this was how they gained the wide track on cups. Trophy wheels would be fine as would any aftermarket 7jx16 PCD 4x100 ET45 rim.

I have SupersexyLeggs...

Much lighter than std, a bit lighter then prorace 1.2 & 2.

Prorace 1s are no longer made (light as fook afaik).

Im running ET37s (the closest I could get to 45).

..you can get the TDs in different finishes if you go direct, cant stand the 182 alloys personally, id go with multi spoke as they suit the clio best, TD 1.2, leggs or turinis all in anthracite, 1.2s for me as leggs are pricey and the 1.2 is relatively cheap and lighter than the turini, to refurb its gona cost 150-200ish on 16s i think. good luck with offsets

Offsets in 16" v limited tho? :-( Pro race 2s look to be my only option.

Whatever you get do yourself a favour and DONT get white, lol. Im regretting the day i ordered them, theyre a w**ker to keep clean. TBH im thinking of running the std rims over winter because of it.

 

[Gary G]

Yeah mate, im not crazy!! lol. My brake pads would turn your rims brake dust black in a about 5mins!

 

[patty]

they dont do those ones with the silver rim... they are competition only.. my mate found that out the hard way

I have just been told that you can get OZ Superleggs with an offset of ET42.

Me n Smokey had Super Leggs 17" on our 182 wihout any problems.

They were ET37

Theyre 16s...

They look far bigger and better in real life.

I dont think the 182 rims are the best about, they certainly look best on the racing blue and silver imo. Id say go for the super legs mate, lovely looking wheel and as omar says, light. Get em done in matt black to.
