Getting OZ Superturismos, which ones?

[The Ironist]

I have a Black 03 clio 1.2 expression so performance doesnt matter to me, looks is the main thing.

I'm going to ge some oz superturismos but im not sure what size or colour to get. I'm not looking to lower my car so its between 16" and 17" size wise then between silver and white for colour wise.

Any recommendations on what will look best?

Also, if i take the wheels to somewhere like quickfit will they fit them with the correct offset etc?

Thanks

Chose Ultraleggera instead. They are lighter.

you clearly dont know what you're buying... allow me to help

Kwik-Fit cant simply "fit" the correct offset to the wheels, you have to buy them in the correct fitment.

as for not lowering your car... fitting 16 or 17" alloys will dramatically raise the height of your car, making it look very silly indeed.

40mm lowering springs kind of go hand in hand with any aftermarket larger wheels, so lower the car first and then buy the alloys.

ok then, what are the best value springs to do this as i can hardly afford the wheels?

And what is the correct fitment for the wheels?

Hey mate. I say it's your money and you can spend it on what you like. Personally though if you're struggling to afford the wheels atm wait a few weeks or so until you can afford them and some springs to lower it. I'd go for 15" or 16" max. Will look much better when lowered.

ET37
PCD100
60.1mm Centre Bore

cool thanks for the feedback. Just one thing, do you reckon white will look good on the black clio or not?

Dark anthracite is better on black clios in my opinion

 

[bmh.01]

Thats anthracite, goes well imo but i'm having them done gloss black at the end of the week. Not sure on white, too much of a contrast i'd imagine.

 

[The Ironist]

what size you got there? 15's?

Im getting the race silver. It was either that or white so went for race silver as most people seem to think thayt white on the black clio dont look as good. Does anyone know where i can find a pic of black clio with nwhite superturismo's?

Menzo i'll let you know in like a few days as i've just bought 15" white WRC's for my 1.2 black clio. I hope these look good -_-

is the above et correct?? ive got et37 17" super t's and they scrub with people in the back and as far as i know its not been lowered, i thought et42 was better...????

 

[RuFF21]

i think et42 is for sports, et37 for non -rs ?

 

[bmh.01]

ET37 for the standard Mk2, ET42 for 172 and Non Cupped 182, ET45 for the 172 Cup and Cupped 182 iirc.

They'll scrub because there 17"s and if you've got a 172 they should be ET42. If its lowered more so.

Mine slighty rub the rear arch liners but thats mainly due to them being 7j and the original dynamique wheels being 6j, did it on standard suspension. Hasn't got any worse with the apex kit.

 

[bmh.01]

what size you got there? 15's?

Yep 15s, not a fan of large wheels and like paying £35 for eagle f1s. Would go for 16" at a max imo.

Will they fit on my clio without rubbing at all? It has standard everything.

Heres a pic of mine on 16s to give you an idea, next step is to drop it 40mm then refurb

 

[dave_b80]

id sell u my 17" super t's for rite price, they are perfect off-set for yours, yoko's on front, nexens on rear (205/45's)... these were on the car when i bought it and id prefer sum et42's so i can lower the car without scubbing problems...
