New to forum... what size alloys are you running on your 182/172

[RSLDH]

Recently just bought a BG 182 and fancy changing the standard alloys (16") to either 15" or stay 16"

Any advice?

Wanting to go down track/fast road use. So any good suspension/brake/handling advice will be appreciated.

I've had a 197 and a 270bhp Megane F1 edition previously. Megane got written off by an idiot who had only just past his test! Hence the change to a 182.

Thank you for your time!

15" make a 1*2 infinitely better to drive, tyres are cheaper and they weigh less.

Be silly not to if it's going to be a track car...

Common options are OZ F1's, Speedline 2118's.

I stuck 15's on mine for use on track and the difference is very noticeable.

Thank you very much for your input. I'll do some research [emoji3]

Noticeable in a good way?

Massively.

Two best things you can do to a 1*2 for me is reduce the wheel size, both road wheels and steering wheel.

When you say 1*2 are you relating to a 1.2 litre Clio or the Cliosport? Sorry for the misunderstanding

Sorry, 1*2 i refer to is either 172 or 182. So the sports.

Fair enough at least I understand it now [emoji23] I've bought it as a fairly standard car so I am wanting to make quiet afew changes when I can afford it. Alloys being one of the first changes

I think changing to 15" wheels is a good shout. I did it on mine (went for the wheels off a Clio Williams). If nothing else, it just gives you a nice wide choice of tyres at a better price.

A set of sticky tyres, a refresh of all the suspension bushes and some decent springs/dampers and you will have a very handy little car.
