Quick Saturday Wash

I'm gonna be blunt... The wheels look s**t. The only reason anybody on here likes them is because they bum OEM and are big into their Renaults, anyone else would tell you they look s**t - and they'd be right.

The car looks tidy, so credit to you there, definitely... But Turinis are generally kept on these for a reason tbh.

Be as blunt as you like, why would I want to become a CS sheep & have 2118's or turinis like every other clio. No thanks my car is my car

 

[Tunst]

If it wasnt a trophy those wheels were on everyone would be loving it..

​Personally I think it looks great!

 

[Jamie]

Looks really clean, good job.

 

[Ash87]

Looks v clean, thinks its the fact the wheels are bright ailver that makes people look at it odd being used to trophies with darker wheels

 

[stevescort172]

I honestly don't see the fuss everyone is making about his wheels ffs. If they were big horrible 17's or 18's then yeah they look gash.
I was always taught if you have nothing nice to say then don't say nothing.

 

[Gally]

I do have one question though Marc. What's with the ditchfinders? Seems strange on a car noted for it's epic handling.

 

[leeds_182]

Wheels look pretty pants to me but I've never been a fan of these wheels on 172/182s ever since markcup put them on his a while ago.

Maybe you should have bought some decent tyres instead of the other mods.

Don't know what you're on about. Those tyres pair perfectly with the suspension tweaks

For a car with epic handling did you not possibly mention at some stage you where going to change your sachs racing dampers ?

Maybe you should have bought some decent tyres instead of the other mods.

The tyres came with the wheels and they where a better buy that putting good tyres on my turinis, cheap or not for the whole 1/2 mile a day that i drive i doubt that i will be doing some mad / crazy driving that warrants me paying extra just for tyres.

The rest of the mods have all been done before the wheels & tyres where bought

 

[Gally]

No I don't remember wanting to change the dampers. They're the Trophies part piece.

Was not sure if it was yoruself or not.

Trophys are one of them cars that should be left standard IMO just as Renault intended, limited runs need keeping as per brand new from the factory. Bit of an exhaust fair enough and some subtle springs but not much of a drop.

The wheels just ruin the car totally for me if i'm honest! Personally i wouldn't sit a trophy low either, just ruining exactly what the car is about imo. Shame as its mint enough to be a lovely examply!

 

[MarcB]

Im glad to say im lucky enough that if i wanted to i can pop down the road and put my Turnin wheels on as i do own them so its not the end of the world.

I want to buy a trophy and bastardise it just to annoy everyone

I want to buy a trophy and b*****dise it just to annoy everyone

I'd like to bag one on some 'scene' wheels just to feel the hate flow

 

[Tunst]

Or even some nice 17 inch ripspeeds with ling long tyres

 

[Alan]

Those wheels are hideous on a Trophy.

 

[Djw Dave]

YES! Id buy one and give it to Mick..

He's the man with the know how tbh.

Or even some nice 17 inch ripspeeds with ling long tyres

Even better.

 

[MarcB]

Im going to tint the windows next and fit a set of these.

Irony isn't going to save this thread or change the fact those wheels on that car are horrendous.

 

[Dolan]

I think they look good the problem is. People on this forum don't like change or something different.
Not everyone likes my car. But the end of the day I like it. Otherwise I wouldn't have it the way it was/is.
Not every Clio has to look the same.

Rant over haha

If these are correct, you seem to be spotted a lot on your 1/2 mile a day driving?

So pointless on your tyres and the fact you don't even utilise its potential.
