[Bluebeard]

Thats a tough one.....

I think i'd go with the 182 wheels.

 

[Justin]

182, looks fresher, and less like a DCi

 

[Hazza]

FF wheels for me.

 

[Turner]

[wallis_172]

172 rims ftw m8, make it look well stealthy! 182 wheels make it just look like a nice 182 even tho its a 172. Be abit different

 

[whatisjustis]

172 rims FTW. Looks more like it means business.

 

[Ross16V]

182 wheels>172 wheels

 

[Marky_]

Personally I prefer the 172 wheels.

BTW, anyone know the difference in weight between the two?

 

[ChrisPearson]

with or without tyres
could find out tommorow some time
from a guess think 172 wheels are slightly lighter

 

[JMR]

Definitely easy to do a direct comparison with the pics!!

I always loved the anthracite 182 wheels, and it looked superb.

However the new 172 wheels look the business. They give the car that aggressive look, mean and purposeful.

The sound of the car with the Maxogen howling over the standard exhaust was just great this morning, especially when going under the bridge..good meet up again:approve:

 

[Marky_]

Either. Would be good to know

 

[ForceIndia]

182 wheels are nasty. Much prefer the 172's.

[D1CKY]

Looks sweet mate.

I'd go with the 172 wheels mate

Aren't the 182 wheels meant to be crap for cooling brakes ?

 

[Timmay]

i like it!

 

[sean_d]

172 wheels

 

[Silverfox]

182 wheels for definite....

 

[C.J]

182 wheels = smooth, sporty and 'nice' car style.

172 wheels = aggressive and modded look

 

[iimushroomzii]

Think i prefer it with the 182 wheels.

 

[Cookson]

172 all the way

Lower too

 

[Turner]

thanks for all the opinions guys
think i agree with the people who say 182 wheels look subtle but think i prefer the 172 wheels as it does make it look a bit more aggressive(if thats the right word for it,can a clio look aggressive??)lol

 

[Turner]

172 all the way

Lower too

coileys??:dapprove:
i wish mate but just not practicle were i live and with the baby seat in the back she jumps about all over now without coileys on

 

[GarethM]

172 wheels imo

 

[Turner]

still loving this shot
would be good to try and get the same shot with the diff wheels

 

[Ash87]

172 alloys, but im biased as there the same colour near enough as mine are
