What wheels have you lot got on your 172s

 

[Bazza]

I had 205/40/17 League Tantrums now I have dark chrome Boss XTR 17s. Its dropped 15mm at the back 25 at the front

I am looking at getting 18s though

 

[SHORTY]

Sounds good Bazza got any pics

 

[Bazza]

no but i am trying to borrow my mates camera

 

[KDF]

my favs at the moment are those khans (i forget the model name)

flat faced 5 spokers. but then I always seem to pick alloys that no-one else likes

I am currently after 19" arospeed rsgt - but i am trying to get the offsets sorted.

 

[RobFenn]

DONT YOU DARE GET THESE!!!!

 

[Bazza]

I did enquire about 19s but the tyres cost more than my car!!

The boss XTR look like the six spoke Khans, But they only have five spokes.

 

[Paul Freemantle]

why

 

[RobFenn]

I want them and ill have to wait at least a year

I want the graphite type finish..

 

[Paul Freemantle]

[Bazza]

You should have said your OLD ones - lol !

 

[SHORTY]

So would you lot recommend gun metal grey colour alloys on a titainium
silver car

 

[DanG]

TSW blades look mint....

either that or you could get some of the speedline magnesium ones for 1500 quid a wheel they look great...errr...maybe not

Dont show them pictures you fool! I was going to get that done to some OZ Chronos until i found out these will be imported. Thing is they wont be Renault fitments so its whoever goes to the trouble of finding some hub adaptors! Theyll be feckin expensive too. ASFAIK lighter than OZ racing wheels

 

[SHORTY]

have you peeps seen the matrix alloys

there are well cool

 

[geordiepaul]

You can get Speedline Turinis in magnesium they have a slighly thicker spoke and look nice. You can get them for about £1200 4 wheels with Falken tyres.
