Inferno on Rota's

[-Danman-]

Finally got the Rota Grid Drift's fitted the other day! This is the first photo.

Now I've got to decide what colour to paint them. Originally I was thinking a gunmetal grey / anthracite colour but I've had a lot of people telling me they look good white.

I've done a quick photoshop of the kind of colour I'm after but I can't seem to get the wheels looking metalic, they're almost matte :/

If anyone with better PS skills would mind having a go, I'd appreciate it (or any other colour that might look good lol)

The wheels could do with a refurb at some point anyway as there are a few kerb marks.

As said already on instagra, inferno + white wheels = hero!

Looks good, we need some photos soon!

 

[Simon_16v]

I agree, going anthracite is too jdm imo

Heh cheers mate. Yeah now the weather is a lot nicer we will have to go and take some!

Okay maybe not anthracite, that might be a bit dark. You seem to loose all the detail of the wheels when they're a dark colour.

Something like @seabass859 's refurbished ones would be nice -

(sorry for stealing your photo!)

You can loose the mudflaps for 6months...! Needs to be lower too IMO.

 

[Munson]

200mm spacers?

Haha, yes they do need to come off now! I think the rears are fine but the front could come down a touch.

200mm spacers?

Don't be silly!

They're only 180mm

 

[Willsam]

I think they suit white the best mate, I wouldn't change them.

Not a fan of that at all. Looked great on turinis.

 

[Andyman]

Nice to be different but not a fan of Jap look wheels on a Clio. Just the wrong scene. Same as the dub euro look.

 

[Mr Burns]

That first picture is awesome.

 

[BGEarles]

White looks great but a ball ache to clean!

 

[CrippsCorner]

They do look good in white but I think you need some other details to complement it, such as white detailing on the 2.0 16v lettering.

 

[Heez]

White looks awesome!

 

[Knuckles]

Here's an attempt at anthracite

and lowz

 

[Mr Burns]

I actually think it looks better with white wheels, without the lows.

What's the spec on these? I'm after new wheels but they look like they'd be too wide for me

Yeah that's a good idea. I had white lettering on my old bullets and that looked nice.

thabks for the comments guys. I knew it wouldn't be to everyone's taste but I just fancied something a bit different.

Thanks for the photoshop mate looks good with a light grey colour

I think they're 16x8 et0. Someone else will confirm I'm sure. They are very wide though mate, I think they'd stick out of the non sport front arches too much.

I think anything wider than 7 on a non sport is a no go really. I think I'll go with the 15x7. Probably end up with team dynamics though lol

 

[Chili Red]

I think they look totally wrong!

But as long as you're happy

 

[Tomo 172]

The specs of wheels are 16X8 ET10, after seeing the wheels in different colours still think you should keep them white, maybe go abit lower as well

 

[Addicted]

Not a fan at all!

 

[G8RSH]

In love with these...

 

[JezzaMac]

White wheels gets my vote for obvious reason

 

[burtt]

Looks quality in my opinion.

 

[Barnett]

Needs to be a touch lower I reckon, I'd keep them white though, they look quality.

 

[TomSRi]

IMO keep them White and lower it more..

 

[WilkyWay]

Anyone else think they look dog sheet? Wide small wheels just don't suit Clio's. IMO of course.

 

[JP83]

[TonkaTruck]

Not a fan...

 

[Addz]

Ah I thought it was you I saw the other day! They look smart makes the car really stand out

Ooh tough crowd! can I not persuade you with a few different angles?

 

[_Tom]

Sorry to say it but it looks terrible imo.

 

[The Boosh!]

Your car would look AMAZING on some proper wheels.

 

[Addicted]

Sadly I agree, there's just something about them (I think they have too much dish on the spokes for a 16" wheel and it makes them look odd), and they stick a little too far out the arches.

Other than that the car looks extremely tidy - this was AUTOCRASH's old one wasn't it? He did my spoiler and I had a nose of his car, and it was top notch.

 

[JP83]

No - the wheels remind me of the lids from one of these...

 

[dmallett]

It just doesnt look low enough to pull them off, I feel like I shouldnt be able to a see any arch gap.

 

[-Danman-]

I knew they wouldn't be to everyone's taste and as I can tell they're are definetly a marmite wheel.


I fancied something different to the norm and went with it. I've still got my Turini's on the back garden in case I get bored of the Rota's, but for now they're staying

No - the wheels remind me of the lids from one of these...

Haha cheers mate! xD

 

[Richy182.]

Looks smart mate, always been a fan of Rotas

 

[Ferris!]

my rotas are white, cant wait to paint them. such hard work to keep clean!
