RacingBlue 182 - with new 2118's and 205/50/15 tyres!

[d4ve86]

I changed my 2118's for the ET43 verson to bring it close to the standard offset + there will soon be an AP Racing 4 pot fast road/track kit to fit behind this wheel!

Ordered some 205/50/ZR15 86W PE's for better grip.

Wheels were coated with AG EGP and then Poorboys wheel sealant, only gave one coat got fed up!

They are a much better tyre compared to the Parada and the Toyo's there is much less road noise inside + imo they look a lot better!


Pictures taken on my P1i so there not the best!


Yesterday started out ...

Qucik wash, didnt even dry the car, then the new wheels ...

Difference compared to the 195/50/15 toyos -

Overall ...

Will lower the front a little more in a few weeks. Hopeully with a small camber change, stiffer springs, powerflex bushes and maybe solid top mounts.

like those

 

[182joe]

nice looking car. wheels look abit small imo. good work though

 

[Rich_16v]

I've got Et43 on mine

Any rubbing with the 205's on?

Did you get the genuine centre caps in the end?

 

[Owen]

Very nice dave, i'm coming around to the idea of 15"s

 

[Fletcher]

Liking that :approve:

 

[franx]

Love them.. because they're white it kind of fools you into thinking they're 16" .
I think in regular silver/steel they would look smaller.

Do you notice the difference speed-wise ? (They're supposed to make a big difference in acceleration because of loss of weight?)

If so, i'd like these too :approve: looks great

 

[franx]

... can you just put 205s on the wheels that come with 195 standard ?

 

[Fletcher]

^^^^^IIRC yes.

 

[DanCup]

Love em.....but I should as I have identical wheels in the same offset!

Top stuff fella

 

[my172]

Looks great!

 

[franx]

Do these stick out a little more or did they come back in a little

(was just wondering what you did to make it different, do'nt know the ET values in comparison to the 172cup)

 

[d4ve86]

I've got Et43 on mine

Any rubbing with the 205's on?

Maybe rubbing a little on full lock at the front, and i need to adjust the camber other than that i cant see a problem.

Got the centre caps for the rear from renault -

Will fit them properly when the new brakes go on,

 

[d4ve86]

the cup ones were et38 these are et43 stand 182 is et45 so it made it close to standard,

 

[MarkCup]

Nice.

15s FTW.

 

[davebem]

Whats the part number for those centre caps please, mine has the annoying metal ones on which are a pain to get off.

 

[Christopher]

much better with the right offset and tyres!

[B16DOE]

does it rub at all i have 205s on mine and it rubs on full lock im thinking of trying spacers

 

[GarethM]

awesome

 

[Ian_182]

I like the look of that.Good effort

 

[d4ve86]

remember 205 is the standard size tyre what comes on the 182's so rubbing wont be a major problem even if the offset is 2mm different

 

[Marky_]

Nice, liking the 15s. Reminds me of gravel rallying wheels.

 

[franx]

Could you PM it to me aswell please

No luck with centre caps for the front?

 

[d4ve86]

will do, these ones fit in the front aswell but there not a tight fit like at the back. Will poke one into the front and get a picture if it ever stopps raining.

 

[Timmay]

Looks spot on that, so low, good luck with speed bumps, lol
