Decisions Decisions! What your advice??

[S Garbett]

Right its back on the standard 15 dynamique wheels, The 17's were causing problems with the breaks and the handling. So gone back to my 15's because i dont know what to do. Breaks are better but there is still something wrong, I believe that the 17's have fooked them tbh. Whats your opionion?

They all need new tyres and i was thinking if i keep them on the car to go with 195/50/R15 tyres instead of the 185/55/R15's. Do i put spacers on pushing them out of the arch a bit too? or do i try and get some willi wheels in white? like mark did on his old dynamique.

This is what it looks like now:

What do you think to the 15's that are on at the moment? Keep or scrap?

[Limca]

change the wheels

 

[Pep]

buy my turbines steve, please!!!

i quite like it on the standards, but would be better on turbines!

 

[AlexS]

As I said in the pm Steve turbines in black or white, white willy wheels would also look good though. Or you could get some turinis!

172 16s look the part on dynamiques imo

 

[S Garbett]

I know thats what i was going for before the 17's have started messing with the breaks. I am thinking about keeping with 15's now to get the most out of my little engine lol

Steve

 

[Pep]

turbines could be going dirt cheap mate, and if your buying new tyres anyway...!

 

[S Garbett]

Can anyone do a photoshop of white turbines on my car please?

Steve

 

[Pep]

might help with the photoshop?

 

[MattT]

Gotta say I'd go with the turbines to be different.
Or 172FF wheels would suit it well but it depends on the look you're going for - i.e. 172 rep.

Oh and it's 'brakes' btw.

 

[CH33MA]

black turbines with red lip

 

[S Garbett]

How much do turbines weigh? are they heavier than the normal dynamique wheels?

Steve

 

[S Garbett]

What do people think??

Steve

 

[Middo]

turbines in white look nice, but i dont think they suit the mk2 clio that well in all honesty.

i think those alloys really suit the car, so get some new tyres as they can be had for £160 all in. an possibly get them refurbed in something a bit different.

 

[Final Maxim]

turbines dont suit the mk2 at all.

personally ide refurb your current 15's in black or anthracite

 

[Limca]

 

[Ian_182]

I like the turbines,but it must be done right,maybe a plain wheel would look good against a darker car.Stick with silver

[dannyboy172]

I like the turb's on JLO's PS, as they look fooking massive circa 17", standard sizes turbs 15" look w@nk on a mk2 imo.

i liked the motor as it was steve with the 17's on, what was causing the brake probs?

 

[Christopher]

16" superleggeras in white

get it down a bit more.

job done

 

[S Garbett]

dont know, its like the abs is kicking in all the time when heavy braking Its been brake tested and it came back great so just confussed. The garage thinks that it could be the brake pump not working correctly anymore because the 17's have added strane on it I just dont know what to do for the best!

Any ideas?

Steve

 

[Christopher]

weird :S

 

[S Garbett]

weird :S

I know thats why dont know what to do

H E L P lol

Steve

 

[dannyboy172]

hmmm...strange one. Wouldn't have thought the wheels would cause any issues with the pump?? :S

Are the discs ok - not worped? Although you said its been checked?? :S :S

Edit: What about brake fluid? All ok - no hoses perished?

 

[Mikey]

maybe try the 15's in a new colour steve? but personally id go for some euro look rims mate .

Yeah its been checked, brake tested and dyagnostic checked to to see if the abs is failing. All came back ok.

worn abs rings? dodgy abs sensor? or something mis-alligned?

I had that on standard wheels! Was just an ABS sensor that went funny

 

[S Garbett]

How much was it to fix? and how did you find that out?
