Just kerbed my cup alloys, new wheels?



  FF Orange Clio 182
Hi Guys,

I've been thinking about getting some different alloys for a while but can't decide which.

Today there was a flood on the way back from work which caused me to aquaplane into a kerb and damage the front o/s which has made me grow on the idea.

I was thinking about 15s for cheaper tyres and arguably better handling.

I've got an inferno FF 182 on Proline springs so it's slightly lower.

What do you think about Models / Sizes / Colours? Looking at picture I think black looks a bit chavvy but I know they look better in person.

Thanks
 

Brookie.

My old one on anthracite Turinis for a bit of inspiration:

This will cause some debate and I reckon I know what people will prefer! I am on Turbines and TBH I doubt I'll refit the Turinis. As nice as they look they are way too easy to kerb with the 195s on, and I hate parralel parking watching the kerb like a hawk when 1*2s have the turning circle of an oil tanker.

That and people think you're wierd for carefully parking what is ultimately in their eyes "just a Clio".

And on the Turbines:

Since the shots I have refitted the centre caps on the Turbines but the car is also filthy ; it has probably done around 500 miles since I fitted the wheels on.

However, as much as I like OZ F1s I'm not a fan of them in most shades on a Clio in 15".
