My Arctic gets the 2118 treatment...

[RDH]

Well, after searching for a long time I finally picked up a set of 2118s off Chris205 on here. Got round to fitting them last night with Dale (d4h182) and to say I'm happy is an understatement. Not the most unique individual wheels but imo no wheels suit the 1*2 better. I got abit picture happy but anyway..

It is in desperate need of a machine polish so if anybody knows of anybody in the NW, then let me know.

How the car looked before. (I still think these wheels look awesome)

C+C welcome, thanks for looking.

Looks spot on that

 

[RDH]

Cheers dude. I also think I'm going to sand down the calipers and re-paint them. Thinking in black?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Agreed, looks good like that.

 

[Wests Renault]

Lovely

Imo it either needs raising on the rear or lowering at the front a little

 

[Gally]

Silver even would be fine mate. Standard.

Wheels totally transform the car imo. 2118's easily are the best wheels for the 1*2's they look so good.

 

[Nashy]

Looks really good mate! Think I prefer the standard wheels myself but still looks great!

 

[RDH]

Yeah I think silver would look pretty good too.

I agree that the nose down look is more noticable on the 15's. I may go a tad lower at the back.

 

[Poopensharten]

Lovley. Without being low a 1*2 simply does not suit the 2118's!

You wouldn't believe how many people/friends/family say they prefer the old wheels. I think it looks abit more purposeful on the 2118s. Although I am keeping the standard wheels for winter use if they don't sell.

I was just about to say that! They would be the only other wheel choice for me and I would keep the standard wheels as a second/winter set. What coilys you got mate?

It is on k-tec coilovers mate, which after taking the wheels off need a serious cleaning. They do get slated but for me they do fine. I don't particularly drive it hard anywhere and they aren't too uncomfortable, just abit bouncy. I also can't believe how much comfier the 50 profile tires have made it over the 45s!

 

[Fletcher]

Much better!

Agweeeed!

 

[uk300matt]

looks great buddy.
i was about to buy these but he'd just sold them to you lol.
car looks great btw.

 

[Jekyll]

That looks spot on! 2118s are common on the clios but there common for a reason, they look good

I like your nose down stance you have.

To be fair I blame you for my 2118 obsession

Never been a fan of the 2118, they're heavier than a 16" Turini and don't look nice IMO. I guess the tyres are cheaper though! Loads.

That said, your car looks cracking. Really smart.

 

[Brett]

It looks a lot more focused. I prefer standard but its not my car.

Car on the whole is really nice though. Got the front end spot on with the 3/4 plate, splitter and removed sidelights.

 

[boffey]

Looks really good mate

Cheers dude. I love Turinis aswell, anthracite Turinis on AB look epic. I just had to scratch the 2118 itch lol.

Thanks Brett!

Looks really good mate

Cheers, we need another little picture meet

 

[mattjones]

Very jealous! Mine needs lowering desperately

Tremendous arch gap! :/

Yours looks spot on through. I was thinking getting mine powder coated in silver, not too sure though

 

[Dan]

Looks really nice mate

but I still can't get past the lowered with standard wheels look as I think well looked after 182 wheels suit clios to the ground (even though I have a set of F1s waiting to go on) lol

 

[Stefan.]

looks awesome! agreed that to pull 2118s off you need to be on coilies/low...that said i need coilies in my life now :evil:

 

[PaulClioSport]

Wheels suit the car perfect, looks great!

 

[RDH]

F1s will look awesome!

 

[Richyy182]

Looking good. I have to say though, you put a pic up a while back with the sun on the car and it was near some warehouse (i think) with standard wheels - it looked awesome!!!!!

 

[plymcl172]

I do like the old wheels better, sorry !

 

[Gandi69]

I think standard wheels suit the colour better but 2118s are a very desirable wheel

 

[chriscummins7]

Love 2118's

Looks brilliant mate!

 

[not normal dan]

Awesome mate, looks stunning an the ride height really compliments them

 

[RDH]

Again, thanks for a the good comments! You've all made me decide not to sell the standard wheels anyway!

 

[Nashy]

Good choice!! Still looks mint whatever wheel your rolling

 

[Adamm.]

Looks very nice mate love the 2118's.

 

[ColinG]

I prefer standards but I'm not a fan of 2118's or 15's in general...

Imo the mk2 Clio looks perfect on 16's / lowered

 

[Joe#]

Again, thanks for a the good comments! You've all made me decide not to sell the standard wheels anyway!

Just use them as winter wheels.

Looks spot on btw

 

[Coby.]
