they're 5 stud. but i rekon they could look quite nice.

 

[Bryan]

if you want to, then do it, why ask others opinions on a styling matter???

 

[caymanr26]

can get them in 4 stud - in a 37 offset so perfect fit.
they are the only set in Britain - have been imported from JApan by a subaru specialist but he has one set that would fit a 172.

 

[caymanr26]

think they look like speedline turinis a bit - im asking coz I already have 17's that look good but want other peoples opinions on these wheels as not cheap and want to reassure myself

 

[fizzy_drink]

They look nice... how much do they weigh?

 

[caymanr26]

good question omar - will find out now

 

[caymanr26]

yeah apparently they are quite light - the guy in the shop said that these wheels are made by Rota who specialise in lightweight wheels for impreza p1's etc - he reckons they are about 4kilos a wheel lighter than your average bk wheel for example so not bad.
any one wanna buy some mint 17inch Mille Miglia HT3's

 

[caymanr26]

quite similar to trophy wheels in that colour - they can also get me gunmetal (black) or gunmetal behind spokes and polished front which could look good - too many choices - dont know what to do

 

[patty]

nice! do it

 

[Gareth]

they look quality.

 

[Nafoff]

agreed do it do it.....

 

[Hotshot]

go for it, look great

 

[Clart]

15's are the way forward

 

[caymanr26]

not on a mk2 172 - they would look tiny - i understand that it would accelerate quicker etc but 17's look the b****cks especially with coilovers (my next buy). I already have 17's but want some dark grey ones and think these look good. I dont think the gain in acceleration with 15's is as benficial as the car looking wicked on 17's.

 

[Clart]

depends what ur after i suppose. mine handles and drives so much better on 15's but then i suppose the car was designed for them.

 

[Gareth]

i've gone from 16"s to 17"s to 16"s on my MK2 172, handling and acceleration 70mph > is mucho muchos better.

 

[recaro182]

pure sexwee - would love to see the mon a clio (photoshop anyone?)

 

[Middo]

these are on rarerims.co.uk are they not? they sell rota, and all the options you quoted above are on their website.

[John2Modified]

Yep, i also Supply Rota

sales@2modified.com

 

[Jonaldinho]

I think they look good

 

[caymanr26]

yeah thats right but they dont normally stock the relevant size for a clio according to the guy thats works there
on their web site they only quote for fitment to a subaru i.e 5 stud et45 offset and also only 7.5 wide whereas i need 7inch wide
