Re: artic blue owners (182)

mines standard at the mo:

i was looking into those williams wheels, what size tyres are you using on them? the MK1 size, or different? and what does the car drive like on 15's

im thinking of dark turinis, but still not sure. seen one on pistonheads with grey turinis, doesnt look right, sort of like primer!?

i want something like anthracite (or darker ) maybe even black, but need pics to help decide :approve:

Re: artic blue owners (182)

I went for the darker grey. I was thinking into black, but I wasnt sure. Plus black alloys make your tyres look dirty all the time, unless you put on tyre shine every few days!

im scared to put tyre shine on, dont want to get it on the tread :boring: :approve:

ive been thinking about gloss black, but as soon as a bit of brake dust gets on it, it will probably just go grey anyway :dapprove: :boring:

Re: artic blue owners (182)

^^ It should be ok, as long as you dont have carbon lorraine pads lol!

There is an owner on here with a RB 182 with gloss black alloys. I saw it at the karting meet in Newport, looked very nice!!

Re: artic blue owners (182)

Cant remember whos it was, so I wouldnt know where to start searching.

Those pads a essentially race spec pads, which produce a lot of brake dust that is a b**ch to get off your alloys, so I understand anyway!

195/50/15. Some on here running 15's use 205/50/15, fill the arches that bit better. Drives better than the standard cup 16's.

My old 182.... loved the white turini's on it

Re: artic blue owners (182)

maybe a silly question, but were they difficult to keep clean?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Re: artic blue owners (182)

^Im guessing so. Even a tiny amount of brake dust would show up on white alloys, not to mention dirt etc.

But if you dont mind cleaning them every week, then go for it! I would have got white alloys, but the cup alloys dont look good in white imo.

I'm someone who always keeps my cars immaculate, so I didn't have any issues with the white wheels. I was taking about 10mins every few days to give them a quick wipe down...

Re: artic blue owners (182)

white wheels aint to bad, I had greenstuff pads and wasnt that much brake dust off them. quick squirt with wheel cleaner, job done.
