pic request - ph1's on 17's

[Topgeartom]

Prima are doing a mental offer of 4 of their oz f1 rep's in 17" for £125. I'm sorely tempted, even if tyres will be £200 on top.

Never seen them in 17" but they look awesome in 16" so dont know what to expect.

Im planning on lowering the car on coilies so will i have many issues?

Show me you ph1 172's on 17's and state if its lowered or not and if you have any problems with bits catching etc.

These are the wheels ive seen:

I'd go for 16's tops imo.

They don't look too bad for 17's.

 

[Topgeartom]

i thought they looked rather good.

Something slightly different too.

 

[Guppy]

Look good but you will need coilovers to pull it off imo...

Love that car^^^

For that price id have ago, they are a nice looking wheel, depends what you want from your car looks? or handling?

 

[sideways danny]

look quite good actually, didn't think i'd like them but i really do

 

[Topgeartom]

anymore?

Get them bought!!

They look ace! Will need lowering 40mm minimum though.

They ruin the drive!!!

I used to have 17's on my old Ph1... tramlined like a f*cker, numbed the steering and torque-steered like a banshee.

I had them on for three weeks before i sold them... the 15's are actually perfect.

Avoid.

not keen really, but ive neevr really cared for the oz f1's too much.

17's look too big for the clio. 16's are spot on for looks and keep handling as normal.

each to their own of course. if you like them then who cares what anyone else thinks.
