Is there a difference between the 172 cup and trophy wheels?

[Wests Renault]

As the title says. Do they both use the speedline turinis?

 

[Beef-Mc]

They do although they have different ofsets, Cup is 38 and Trophy is 45.

nice one cheers guys. i want to give my 182 a wider look (and to fill out the arches) which should i go for?

i can never remember if a higher or lower ofset makes them stick out more!

 

[Marky_]

Cup wheels will make it wider

 

[Wests Renault]

and i presume they will fit on a lowered 182? at the moment i have aibach springs fitted but maybe looking to get coilys in the future

thanks for the swift responses guys

I have cup turinis on mine, on sportlines, and i want to get coilovers. Not a prob with the sportlines. Would like to know if they will be ok on coilies!

 

[Craig]

if you're planing on lowering alot you will want the trophy turinis due to them being the right offset for the cup packed 182s

I was under the impression if you have a 182 Cup you HAVE to have Trophy wheels. If you have a 182, either Cup or Trophy wheels will fit.

ive got a normal 182 with both cup packs so i guess from the above comment i can have either

I take it as you need the Trophy wheels.

You have it wrong Tom, Rick has it right.

cheers buddy

 

[rabbit21]

Well i have cup turinis and i have both cup packs. So you can have either.

Can I just bump this thread, looking for some turninis and am just wanting to know if the only difference between the 172 cup and trophy wheels is the colour and offset.

Ie do they both weigh the same?

 

[Bramley]

arent cup anthracite and trophy grey?

 

[Gaz_]

Nope. 172 Cup Turinis are Silver, Trophys are Anthricite

 

[hipwell]

Nope. 172 Cup Turinis are Silver, Trophys are Anthricite

so other than that and the offset they are the same wheel?

Why are trohys ones so much more money?

 

[ripp]

if you're planning on lowering get a wheel with the closest offset to 45, thus you'll prevent rubbing on the arches (and even so it may appear but it will be smoother and easier do get rid off).
so get the trophy wheels

I have 16x7" ET37 Superleggeras on mine 182 cup packed! a whole 1mm further out than cup turinis lol, Approx 40mm if a tad more from factory height and only get rubbing with a fair bit of weight in the back, or absolutely hammering it down a bumpy B road!

They are the same price new from Renault iirc?

On here tho the trophys are more expensive.

I don't plan on lowering it but my car has got both cup packs so it's slight lower than standard. So does this mean that if I get the cup wheels theyl catch on my arch?

^You'll be completely fine on cup suspension.
