Anyone with a silver mk2 clio

[spirez]

Hi could anyone with a silver/platinum mk2 clio post some side-on pics so that i can see what your alloys look like. im gettin my new car soon but i cant decide on what wheels to get and was just looking for a few ideas. They will definitely be 17s but i havent decided on any particular style yet, apart from they have to be really shiny but not chrome.

cheers

PS my membership is in the post!

Actually ....got the Eibach Prokit Springs fitted on and its not that low.

AFAIK there is only 1 other MK2 172 with these on......they do look cool IMO

 

[RS-Steve]

CHEAT!!! Looks good tho! Bet you wish it was really like that?

 

[chris172]

[RS-Steve]

You not doctered it too much How much lower is it?? 35mm?? Really do like those wheels!! Thinkin bout MM HT3s when mine turns up, but the foxs are pretty new!

 

[spirez]

you ordered a billabong as well stevie? chris there will still only be two around cuz mine is a not so fast 1.2 16v! im think of droppin 55mm. what offset is that? i need them in ET37, 205/50/17

 

[RS-Steve]

No mate a 172.

 

[spirez]

ha, good lad!

 

[chris172]

The springs only drop it by 20mm but what a difference in handling!!

After putting the 17s on the handling was.... at the least a bit twitchy!!! but now its just great and even better than standard..IMO.

They are 17s with 205-40 tyres and a 40 offset , so near enough not to scrub anywhere..... on mine anyway!!

 

[chris172]

a quick PS version of 172 with Fox 3s

[RS-Steve]

Cheers mate! Only mines in gonna be blue. Dont suppose...

 

[spirez]

hmm, dont now if ill get away with et40 as the arches arent as wide as the 172s are they?

[spirez]

i think 17" 5 spokes are definitely gonna be the way forward for me. Aldo is that lowered 60mm?

 

[Aldo]
