Need opinions on some alloys :)

[ksykes23]

Hi, got a silver clio mk3, pretty standard, only mods done by person I bought it off. Gonna buy ap coilovers in about 2 weeks then I need some alloys but am stuck on which ones I like and even more difficult, the colour i should get them.

Like I said, pretty standard and sitting on stilts. I wanna go low but not crazy low, would probably like some 16's to be honest.

These are the wheels I'm interested in. From left to right, calibre vintage, lens bsx and speed line turinis. Haven't a clue what to go for so any opinions and any other wheels you can think of would be good! Also, what colours would go well with silver, I see a lot of people doing black but I'm not 100% keen on black on silver.

Nice one, thanks

I would be more concerned about that exhaust and rear lights before spending money on anything else.

Out of the 3 you posted the middle ones would look best i think.

This.

i would go with the turini's but are the lenso's and calibre's not exactly the same alloys in different colours?

17" if you're choosing Turinis.

Go for turini's, if you're doing "euro" (shudders), then do it properly. BBS are what you want, not 1 piece fakes.

Turini's will look good in a decent size.

Lights I couldn't care less about atm, know what you mean about the exhaust, tbh i like it, but i don't like where its positioned. Would have been good if he had embedded it in. Wasn't planning on getting wheels till summer anyway but really want to lower soon as the ride height is just well.....annoying. Lenso and calibre's are pretty much the same, they come in different colours though (i know i can get powder coat, but was just to show the difference really).

Any other wheels u got ideas for, ones I haven't put up?

 

[jesus]

Yeah, Megane Nervasports.

Haha at the euro quote, tbh mate, i don't think i could pull off euro with the clio, will just leave that to polo owners. I just want to make it look tastefully sporty. Slowly getting rid of the chavyness that the owner before me added, but its not cheap lol

 

[ksykes23]

Yeah, Megane Nervasports.

Yeah man, seen them on a silver mk3 on here somewhere and they look smart. Are they rare? and more importantly, how much?

 

[jesus]

Took me a good while to find! A few Meganes have them so they come up every now and again. More importantly, they really do suit the MK3 Clio. They aren't that much to buy because they're off a standard car.

 

[ksykes23]

Yeah, i like the canasta wheel (the one off the dynamique s i think).....simple and nice, but again, hard to find for some reason

if you want sporty then definatly the turini's. the lenso's or calibres will just make it look like your trying to go euro

 

[ksykes23]

Im just so torn lol luckily i got months to think about it im really into the calibres, i dont wanna be classed as trying to do "euro" just because i buy them wheels. I reckon it will look nice with them on with out going full euro (thread on here somewhere with a photoshop done) . Ps that exhaust has gone now hidden behind the bumper

 

[Knuckles]

17'' turinis imo.

and fit xenons to the front

and maybe fit a 197 rear bumper (they do fit with some persuasion) with that exhaust poking through the diffuser
