Back To 16's

[MarcB]

Well today as it was decent enough i started on the car, Gave it a good wash and polish and then done the same with the speedline Turini's
It started to rain so the car was moved into the garage for me to complete the wheels.

Once that was done it was moved down to the shed and i swapped the wheels over and took the 15" Clio / R19 16v Speedlines off the car and put the 16" Turini wheel back on.

​Now gutted as the rain is pi$$ing down and it seems like a total waste of a day

Lol those 15's aren't the nicest alloy I've seen

 

[Kitson93]

Ive never seen a set of alloys so clean... Fantastic work!

 

[Stefan.]

million times better!!

 

[MarcB]

It holds the road better, Notice such a difference after driving around in the 15's

 

[Kitson93]

What wheel nuts have you got mate? They look class.

Tpi polarised bolts.

 

[Alan]

Infinitely better.

 

[Kitson93]

Tpi polarised bolts.

Do you know what size? Im clueless

I misread the thread initially, and thought you'd switched to putting those 15"s on! Thank go it was the other way around - lol!

I actually preferred the ride in the 182 when I borrowed a 15" set of Speedlines - so much so that I was really tempted to swap full time. That said, they had track tires on at the time - and it might have been the rubber, not the reduction in alloy size that I preferred more!

Thank god for that

 

[cafcross]

Car looks perfect, but your centre caps aren't straight!

 

[Bobby.]

About time as well.

Now go throw them old wheels off a bridge.

The only thing i had laying about was Autoglym tyre dressing. It is actually not too bad and lasts a week or so before it starts to fade.

 

[TTrev]

just done a full re-furb on mine .... nice to see it back with the Turini's

just waiting on my R1r's now so I can get it on the road

 

[BREMBO]

Back to the way it should be! Looks very very clean!

 

[-Danman-]

About time mate!

 

[Richyy182]

Better, miles better!!

 

[hopey-182]

Dont put them silver wheels back on. They do nothing for the car

 

[Mr Plums]

Looks loads better mate

 

[Daz.]

Zillion times better.

 

[plymcl172]

I honestly dont think i listened to a pile load of clio owners.

I was washing them and decided to stick them back on. They will be coming off again soon enough as the tyres are almost done and im in the process of saving for new ones.

 

[kpowell911]

FLOL @ those 15s! You lose a bet?

 

[ColinG]

Much much much much better on the original wheels mate!
