show me your 17" turinis

[C8DGY]

As above guys.

Been offered a set at good money but unsure if they will look to big on the clio.

Any one running 17's?

Please upload your pics.

Thanks Paul

 

[C8DGY]

No one? Or 17s in general will help....

 

[Maccy]

Do 17" Turinis even exist?! I've only ever known of 15/16s.

 

[loggyboy]

They do them in lots of sizes according to this:

My mates car , I run them too now pics up later, they look great, take no notice of the cliosport OEM PLUS sheep ! 17s dont handle look wrong blah blah I have A set 0f 17s and 16s and run both 17s handle better and look better imo if they are a good lightweight wheel with correct offset and drop they are great.

17" turinis are flowformed to so lighter than a std 16.


If you have been offered them at good money do it you wont regret it they are £965 new without tyres !!

They look good on 197's/200's but too big one 1*2's, a friend has a r56 JCW mini and is currently looking at running them, does look very cool on them also

Why are they to big ?? overall od of tyre and wheel on a 17 is 7mm dia more than a 16 as tyre profile is less on 17 not exactly a massive difference !!!

 

[MartinR]

I echo everything Dave is saying above..!

There was a pretty long and windled thread last year about 15s, 16s and 17s... Very interesting actually will see if i can find it.

Sheep ftw.

More wheel less tyre, same size!

 

[scotty10]

I'm sure i seen 17s on eBay.....expensive though

how dare u ? lol

On to this again !! thread after thread is 17's are crap blah blah blah blah

Just like davo172 said- I run 17's and I love them and like he said I think they also look better !

 

[McGherkin]

I still think they look nice, but there's a set of 15" Rota Grid V's somewhere in this world with my name on them

 

[plymcl172]

I am not a fan of the wheels you want lol but its your car and anything different to CS sheep is always a bonus!

 

[fisher7m8]

They are mine

 

[plymcl172]

They are mine

nice, very nice but is that mudflaps I see... ?

 

[fisher7m8]

yea 2 short ones on front to stop crap hitting paint work

 

[Andyk1801]

they actually look pretty decent IMO. never considered getting bigger wheels but they do look nice.

 

[davo172]

[davo172]

what offset are they ??

 

[Mr Plums]

I sometimes look at my 16's and think maybe 15's would have looked better with a bigger tyre.

​17's look way to big on a mk2 clio imo, reminds me of a tractor tbh.

 

[Dave..]

Nothing wrong with 17s.

 

[Mr Plums]

lol

 

[montana]

I really like them in 17inch form

bet you won't say they are too big on a V6 .... Clio MK2 still

 

[Chip-mk1]

If you look VERY closely at a V6 clio you will notice it has some bodywork differences around the arches, I think this makes a big difference to how larger wheels look on them.

 

[plymcl172]

yeah it does but to say '17's are too big on a Clio MK2' is just not true V6 Clio's are MK2 therefore its rubbish

 

[Chip-mk1]

True.

"17s are too big on a non V6 clio" would be a better way of putting it.

 

[plymcl172]

yeah that would work although I still don't agree with that statement lol
