[Dan@M.A.D]

Thanks alot mate, didnt want to follow the rest on here, yet tried to keep to a budget, seems to be a good option

 

[Kieran..]

nice to see something different but not for me

 

[chriscummins7]

not sure if you know... but you're supposed to take your old wheels off first.

jokes aside, I think there are some far nicer wheels to be had but as long as you like them!

 

[Skinnny]

White on blue always looks the dogs! Got the same colour clio as you. Thinking about refurbing my wheels white. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm lol

 

[Cookson]

White on blue always looks dog s**t

Edited for you mate :rasp:

Don't want to sound harsh but they are too small and they look sh*t. Sorry mate.

Everybody has Turinis/2118's for a reason.

Ha, just read it back and I sound retarded. But you know what I mean.

 

[Filippo]

Well they definitely don't look 'sh*t'. I wouldn't have them but they look good!

 

[Dan]

These aint bad The no cup ph2 172 wheels look good on non sports too

 

[Wests Renault]

should look good mate

 

[Rich_172]

Looks great mate. Nice job

 

[Y7 ADW]

Unfortunately not for me. Fair play for being different though.

 

[Joss.]

thanks for all the opinions guys, appreciate theyre not to everyones taste but im glad i went for something different tbh admit the turinis etc look good, but not for me

 

[cliosport667]

They look good. Nice to see something different

 

[Joss.]

just cant wait to get these fitted, need to get some bolts, do halfords sell them ?

 

[Joss.]

How do i know which bolts to buy? theres so many options, anyone help? http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Motor...essories/Grayston_Wheel_Bolt/1789/5277/101942

M12x1.5. 60 degree fixed seat type and 26mm long is standard bolt size mate.

26mm didnt clear the wheel into the hub, would have only had less that 1mm into the hub, ended up with tuner bolts and new spigots too, another £40 :/ still neeed new tyres for them

 

[Joss.]

Got the wheels on, but one is wobbling, its definatley on right! any ideas as to whats wrong?

 

[Scott™]

Will look tidy with some lows.

 

[Joss.]

Will look tidy with some lows.

40mm drop soon to come, once the wheels are sorted!

 

[GeorgeH]

Not balanced? Buckled? Tyre not got enough air in?

 

[Joss.]

i'd like to think its just balancing, and not buckled ha, just its wobbling alot, would off balancing cause this?

 

[GeorgeH]

At 70mph most likely. Check your tyre pressure and bolts are good, jack the car up and try and wobble the wheel, just check the ovbious.

 

[Mat23]

are your bolts on tight enough?? did you put them on yourself, if you had a garage do it, then could be buckled?? tis why you got such a good deal on the wheels init!! see ya at work tmoz, cant wait to see it in the flesh

 

[Mat23]

get these pics on ya project thread youve done well to have such a tidy car for your first..

 

[Knuckles]

If they're wobbling then please check the bolts are tight! The wheels look good but you don't want them falling off... I had two bolts shear and One fall out without realising a while ago... No idea how but my wheel almost fell off :/ if they are right enough then go to a garage to get the tracking / balancing done

went to halfords today, asked the lad to balance them for me and check for obvious things (buckling etc) anyway, gave him a couple of quid for his troubles, and swapped the wheels onto the back, no wobbling, however, the tyres it came with are shocking, and his tracking must have gone, as the indide is worn badly...
anyway, new tyres monday so hopefully all wheels will be on then!

 

[Fisher_172]

Spigot rings?

 

[Joss.]

Spigot rings?

brand new ones on :/ hahaha its sorted now anyway, for now

 

[Mat23]
