PS Request: RB 200 + Red Wheels

[Harpham]

I want to try and reignite the love for the 200, as its an awesome machine and I think I need to grow a pair, rather than kop out so early into my ownership. Spotted another set of standard wheels for sale and thought id try and go for my original plan of having some red wheels.

My inspiration... Haii Jenic's old 182:

Now, im unsure whether the standard 5 spoke wheels or my trat'or style suspension will suit having red wheels, so could someone please photoshop the below photos with red wheels please?
Im probably looking to go for the R26R colour.

Just a few pictures that may be suitable. I dont think I have a close up, side on shot of the car.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NoNoNoNoNo and No.

If you're going to do it, get some Speedlines first.

You know I love your face, but the standard wheels look bad enough in a subtle colour.

 

[Nick172Cup]

I'd only do the speedline in red personally, the standard wheels are shite in a dark subtle colour so in a bright colour they'll be even worse!

Lol.

 

[Harpham]

I've said it before and ill say it again... Standard wheels look great!! Show off teh Brembos.
Id still like a PS if possible, just so that I can see how it'd look.

You know I love your face

 

[VIICarCare]

bloody do it!

 

[Harpham]

bloody do it!

Atleast someone has the right attitude lol.

Btw, from what ive been adding up, this can be done relatively cheap (like all in, still about half the cost of buying some 2nd hand sheeplines).

To add:

This. The standard wheels look awful IMO.

 

[VIICarCare]

oooh yes!!

 

[Will.]

That looks nice. Do it.

 

[Harpham]

Cheers mate. I appreciate that. That does look good!! One has a few phonecalls to make now

 

[Edd]

I'm not keen on them, I'd be after some black Speedlines and some H&R springs.

 

[Harpham]

^ I did want it lower tbh, but they don't make any springs for 200's from 2010 onwards (changed the suspension design or something, so all kits out atm just fit ones up to 59 plate iirc, unless things have now changed - I could get some H&Rs for like £160, so I would have snapped them up by now, if I could have).

Oh and I dont want Speedlines, unless I can get some stupidly cheap. I like the standards.

Gash.

Not feeling the love for the wheels? What about the colour combo?

 

[jenic]

You know I love the colour combo, can you get a picture of an RB on speedlines for people to PS?

 

[ch!ppen]

Okay, looks better on the forum than Facebook lol. s**t ass quality raping networking toss site.

But i'm still not sure...

 

[Kieran..]

would look good but speedlines

 

[Šįk]

Be different n go LY wheels lol!

 

[Harpham]

If someone wouldn't mind (although I don't think Sheeplines are an option, as they'll cost too much)

I don't understand everyone's dislike towards the standard wheels.

Be different n go LY wheels lol!

By all means, someone can PS them this colour also. Would match my CS URL and CSS sticker

 

[Šįk]

I think Standard wheels are smart Once car is low on coilovers. There was a black 200 on here lowered on KW's (iirc) with standard wheels. Suited the wheels once it was droped to the right hight!

 

[Bluebeard]

Search Wests Renault. He had a RB 200 with red wheels on.

Searching your own username FTL! lol.

I think the PS does look good tbh.. but it would be 100x better with speedlines!

As mentioned earlier in the thread, the only problem with this is the lack of choices for 200's from 2010 onwards. I think I can only get coilovers which cost £1k+ that'll fit mine, which is a 'No Deal'.
I would love some lows though.

 

[daveski]

Needs lowering to pull off bright wheels imo.

Oh and speedlines or nothing.

 

[Harpham]

You used to be cool, man.

I am disappoint with the reactions to this crazy idea...

When I did the orange wheels on my 200, it made me love the car again for a couple of weeks, then I got bored and put the standard wheels back on.

I think if you are only painting the wheels to love the car again, I can assure you it will only last a short while before you are thinking of selling again (then you've got the hassle of getting standard wheels again)

I'd cut your losses now, sell the car and watch the extra money build up in your bank that you save!!

 

[daveski]

Just do it man! Its only some wheels.

Are you planning on doing the paint yourself or getting someone to do it? As I want mine doing in red too....

The plan was to buy another set of standards that are currently up for sale, so id have the two sets.
Know what you mean though. Couple of months down the line, ill be wanting to do something else to it. Ive been considering seeing whether my locals Renaults have a 1*2 in and seeing whether they'll go swapsies.
I really don't know what to do...

Would have them powder coated professionally. The place Gray had his F1's done want £35 per wheel. I need to give a place Jenic recommended a call though, as they are meant to be cheap.

Surely speedlines can't be a lot more than another 2nd hand set of standards?

You'd be surprised... I could get these wheels and sprayed for about just over half the price than what speedlines seem to sell for.

Obviously just a bonus that im one of the few that actually like these wheels.
