Alloy Choice?

[Lukas1]

OK OK OK I'm probably going to get slated for this

but I'm unsure of what alloys to buy for my 172 and I was wondering on opinions on something that's different to the standard turinis/pro race 1.2s/O.z. F1s scene that seems to have been adopted on here (please dont shoot me, just want something different and no-one is selling any of the above atm) so i was thinking something like this?


http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/4x_16_Inch_Inovit_ST_VI_Gunmetal_Lip_Alloy_Wheels_with_tyres.php


or any other suggestions would be good please guys budget 500 with tyres preferably and no larger than 16"

thankssss

those are quite nice

have a look at Rota wheels. I know they're jap, but some of them are uber-light!

 

[Lukas1]

yeah i like the look of the rota wheels aswell, just unsure of the offsets for them :s same with the one above lol oh well search continues lol

 

[Tunst]

these are similar to what i was going to order before i wrote my car off lol

 

[Lukas1]

lol yeah they are really nice and look similar to the track wheels from ktec but about £180 less and weigh 7kg per wheel, unsure if thats a heavy alloy tho :S found them on here:

http://www.inovit-wheels.co.uk/p1021936.htm

but it doesnt state if they come with tyres or not :s as it says if you want different tyres just ask so i assume it does?

cheers lukas

 

[edewer]

7kg aint too bad really, although there are much lighter about. compomotives perhaps?

but it doesnt state if they come with tyres or not

I'm pretty sure it says "wheels only" in the title

The wheels would look tidy if they weren't multifit.

 

[Lukas1]

mega fail by me then lol got confused by the adding special extras just ask bit lol i still cant make up my mind on them tho

 

[cat171]

I like them, but i'm not sure if they'd be a bit too 'hardcore' looking for the clio ? That sort of stuff seems right at home on Jap cars, hmmm tough one.

 

[pinky]

Check Rimstyle out deliver next day any include everything needed to pop them straight on.

Yeah I know what you mean mate, I have run a search on here and only found two clios that had them on and I'm pretty sure they were 17" and in white so I think I might be the first to try them in gunmetal and at 16" but I don't want to waste £450 odd on alloys that may look cack

Check Rimstyle out deliver next day any include everything needed to pop them straight on.

Cheers bud I will give them a look in today

Sorry, didn't resist!

 

[Lukas1]

Sorry, didn't resist!

lol yeah I have done a search on the rotas and a fair few forums have had unpleasant things to say about certain rotas, but also were on quite powerful front/rear wheel drive cars (400bhp+) so don't know about them quite yet lol

are inovits in the same category of cack as rotas then? as they are ripoffs of rays

cheers lukas

 

[Gardus]

I've seen the inovit on ebay...mmm not convinced.

 

[Lukas1]

I've seen the inovit on ebay...mmm not convinced.

what do you mean by not convinced bud, by the build quality or just the general look on Clios?

 

[Gardus]

I like the look but i don't trust the built quality, reliability is more important than lightness on the road for me.

 

[Tigger]

They look nice

Any pics of your car Lukas?

What he said

 

[Kerryclio]

15s or 16s wouldn't bother with anything bigger TBH

 

[davidmaiden18183]

I was considering these earlier in the week as an alternative to second hand Oz ultraleggeras or Speedline Turini's

Wolfrace Pro Lite

Think they would look good on a clio, the coloured rim is personal taste, also available in blue (I was going to paint to match the alloys)

available for around £470 with budget tyres

 

[davidmaiden18183]

Alternatively http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/4...ornado_Anthracite_Alloy_Wheels_With_tyres.php

if they fit

 

[Lukas1]

What he said

yeah i think that they are more of a JDM scene alloy and at the price im kinda worried about buckling

15s or 16s wouldn't bother with anything bigger TBH

yeah i had 17" on it already, with tyre prices and the fact the ride wasnt as good, it made me realise stick to 16". Whats the real difference between having 15" though, apart from obviously cheaper tyres, i suppose it improves speed?

yeah they are ok but the problem with wolfrace is they have a bad name now and the last thing I want is my clio to go from 'girly' to 'chavvy' otherwise they would be good

now i definately like those, might actually look into getting them from topgear, found them cheaper elsewhere but they had virtually none in stock stupid alloywheels.com

thanks for your thoughts guys, keep them coming

 

[Lukas1]

hey all, i have my heart set on some 15" wheels now, the cheap tyres and track look seem to appeal a great deal i was just wondering if anyone has any pics of any team D's 1.2's or tornado in white on an iceburg? as im unsure what they will look like?

thankssss
