Clio 1.8/Williams Group A wheels Prima Racing

[Clio_GP]

Hi Cliosport members

Nice stuff you are having on here…!

Hoping for some help by you guys:
I am owning a Clio Grand Prix 1.8 16v.
The rust is gone, but I am missing one essential thing: the right wheels for this car (I know, opinions differ on this one 😂) - the group A wheels in 16”.
Even though the original Speedlines are still available, I am in search for the replicas from Prima Racing.
Simply because they are lighter and fit for purpose on a road car.

Would anyone have any idea please?
I know that Mark Black was trying to sell a set some two years ago, but I can’t get in touch with him.

Any help would really be appreciated!

Cheers
Joe

As goodie some pics attached from last weekend’s Eifel Rallye Festival 😀

Thanks bass_direct
I contacted them a while ago but they don’t reply. Hence I don’t think that are still doing that kind of business/still have them actually available.
Would be great if someone could confirm/comment on this assumption of mine.

Maybe try Tony - Tony@primaracing.com or find him on Facebook - Tony Hart

Their instagram account is still active. States to contact them via email in pic below.

Would advise to email and if no response send an instagram dm. I know that they’ve stopped carrying out mechanical work on cars.

Great, thanks - will try via Tony‘s address then.

If anyone has a hint on used ones, I would be more than happy!!!

Hi Paddy

Actually not 😀
But this one seems to be in pretty good shape as well!
You have been to the Eifel lately as well?
At least that’s what truck in the background tells😉

This is mine:

Not recently but I took that pic a couple of years ago, just your mention of being in the Eifel and a Clio Grand Prix made me remember the photo 😅

The Clio 1.8/Williams Group A wheels really add that aggressive, track-ready look. Are there any specific modifications you recommend for a better fitment or performance upgrade with these wheels?

 

[Clio_GP]

The crux with the original Group A rims is two-fold: first it is indeed the fitment - technically speaking, not size-wise.
They require a completely different way of mounting (screws fixed in the hub, then nuts going on it to hold the rim - sorry, I am lacking the proper English terms).
Second is their weight, as it is increasing un-suspensioned mass.
For a rallye car that might be appropriate as it increases durability, for an ordinary road car it is not.

Haha, always good to have an archive to refer back to!
You were at the Nurburgring, right?
Pretty easy to spot 😉
