MK1 16V Wheels

[Turbo steve]

Hi guys
looking for some help / insperation. I have a MK1 16V turbo that needs some new wheels, the car is black what style and colour would look good? It currenly has 17's on because of the size of the front brakes but looking if we can squeez some 16's on.

link to Picture below to see what it currenly has fitted

15's definitely not fit?
Crying out for turbines...

 

[Alastair.]

Turbines in silver!

 

[Turbo steve]

15's defo a no go. waiting to see if 16's will fit

 

[Daz.]

16's have always looked to big for a mk1 though.

I'd be selling the brakes off an fitting some that will fit under 15's -

 

[Turbo steve]

problem is Daz it needs those brakes, standard size just wont cut it with the power it can run

 

[Daz.]

The wilwoods were immense on the one I drove and they fit under 15's

I tried them, had nothing but hassle so went to Hi spec

What size are your front brakes? The Turbines on my 172 were a bolt on fitment.

If you need Big wheels on it go for something tarmac rally style, like a compomotive mo5

Anyone know where i can get the renault centre caps from please

 

[R3k1355]

ebay?

 

[cat171]

I'd keep the Speedline centre caps tbh. It looks much better on the Turini's, the Wolfrace ones were too big.

Seems you have 205/45/16 wheels, I thought you had to run 17s ?

Please remove the spoiler and single wiper lol

Pics of engine? Interior? I got a mk1 so I'm interested in seeing more

 

[Turbo steve]

@MarcR™ yes we managed to squeeze them on, its tight but the wheel design choice was important to help get the clearance.
@Chowny whoever buys it can make there own choices and add / remove what the want. Interior is standard with the exception of the dash top with boost gauge built in and a B&M shifter, if you click on the top picture you can scroll through pics inc the interior and engine bay

It's really very nice................
but as other have said it looks like a ripspeed promo car from 1999.

I guess thats marginally amusing with the amount of grunt it's got on tap.
