Speedline 2118 ???

[Italian_Job]

do they really come only in 15" ?

 

[jezcharger]

No 5.5" wide 16" too IIRC

 

[Italian_Job]

yep you right i found them on the speedline website, 5.5x16
is that narrower than turinis or 182 cup wheels?

 

[Gt rob]

much narrower, normal 182 wheels are 6.5j

 

[Italian_Job]

I wouldnt have thought that , i really like 2118 but i wouldnt fit a wheel 1 inch narrower.

 

[Gt rob]

i suppose it depends on tyre width, do you use 195 or 205 width tyres?

 

[DanielJames]

5.5j seems pretty small! My Corsa had 185's on 6j rims and they had a decent buldge

Guess the 5.5j is for some motorsport use such as ice or snow.

 

[oliver.james]

Out of interest, why is the 15" size putting you off?

I thought they only came in 15" in the Clio fitment?

 

[Clgale88]

15" are the shizzle i need a set of 2118s in my life

Knowsit. Great wheels

 

[Nick172Cup]

Winner wheels! I have 2 sets also

 

[Italian_Job]

Winner wheels! I have 2 sets also

can you tell the difference from a 205, what size tyre have you on?

 

[Coby.]

I had 205's on when I was running 2118's

 

[Italian_Job]

im a bit confused, can you fit a 250 on both 5.5j and 6.5j??
I thought you'd need a different tyre size for a narrower wheels....

 

[Coby.]

I probably wouldn't fit 205's on the 5.5j but then why would you buy the narrower version anyway??

 

[Italian_Job]

gotcha now,
The 16" comes with 5.5j and the 15" with 6j and 7j......... now understand why people go for the 15" wheels.
I had no idea about that.

 

[Fred@BTM]

5.5 x 16 are ice wheels

every one uses 7x15 with 195/50 15 tyres, real men use 205/50 15 tyres

 

[Italian_Job]

7x15 with 205/50 sounds sweet
those bad boys cost more than 16" turinis!

 

[cafcross]

Plus side is that tyres will be cheaper on the 15s than 16s

 

[Italian_Job]

doesnt that negatively affect the handling somehow? less wheel more tyre?

 

[Coby.]

I ran 205/50 R15 and it may have been in my had but the car felt much better to drive and cornering seemed much better.

that's what I thought, just saw some pics of clios with 2118, very nice indeed.

 

[Coby.]

I seriously regret selling mine .... Moved out and needed some quick money and obviously they were easy to shift on.

 

[jack_kemp]

gotcha now,
The 16" comes with 5.5j and the 15" with 6j and 7j......... now understand why people go for the 15" wheels.
I had no idea about that.

No, people go for the 15's because they're better. If poeple wanted 16's, Speedline would make them.

[Italian_Job]

Im looking around for the best price.

[Cupman29]

Anyone know how much a 2118 wheel weighs in 15 x 7j form?

 

[Sir_Dave]

get 7x15's

 

[Italian_Job]

i will man
just worried about looking like a t**t with 15" on sportilines, what do you think?
Tyres are not that cheaper if i go for a 205's, what about the r888 or Px4?

 

[Stunty]
