The New alloys are on!!!!

[Flat Eric]

Fitted my 172 alloys on today. paid 70 pound for 5 of them, bargain if u ask me. the front one u can see in picture was a brand new one aswell still boxed.

And ignore the marks on the wheels on the first picture, just a bit of black from when they was in my car. soon wiped off

 

[kie1an]

looks good , reminds me of my car a while ago . lowering next hey ?

 

[Ian]

Jeez, I'm paying £160 for 4 lol, sounds like I'm being swindled! Where did you get them from?

Looks good anyway mate, bit of a drop and a colour code and it'll be spot on.

 

[Ben.]

what a bargain

 

[Beef-Mc]

Bargain, where did you get them from?

 

[.Gem.]

[AlexG]

[christian rea]

[Reyes]

:O you got youre for 70 quid?! i was supposed to get mine off someone here for 70 quid.. PM me who it was.. grrrr....

 

[clio_luke]

looks great mate, you must be pleased. lower it by 40mm and it will finish it off.
colour coding and a cup spoiler would look great too

 

[JCC]

70 quid for 5 ! bargain imo
I paid £40 + my dynamique wheels for 4 and thought that was a bargain.

Looks great mate

 

[Flat Eric]

thanks for all the comments guys, i am glad tht u agree it makes a great improvement, not sure if any of you seen me wheels before. here they are.

 

[.GAZ.]

i think a colour code would look good on the door handles, side strips and mirrors but i have seen other cyclone blues with the front and rear bumpers colour coded and it just doesnt look right

what colour would u recommend for the 16v badges? i am thinking cyclone blue with white writing

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

yeh, u definatly need to lower and colour code looks good

 

[Ian]

I know what you mean about Cyclone Blue, it's an awkward colour to play around with. In terms of the bullets, white could look good. I'd be tempted to have a subtle white colour scheme going on but I'm not sure if it would work. I'd say match the silver badge on the alloys if not. Try asking for a photoshop, people are always up for an excuse to mess with other people's cars

Just out of personal interest, have you informed your insurace company of the change of alloys? Having a bit of trouble with mine.

nope not informed insurance yet, will it be a piss take then?

 

[Ian]

Depends who you're with. I asked Tesco if it would effect my policy; they told me it would be an additional £241 + £100 on the excess. However, having spoken to people on here they've told me they shouldn't want anything at all, so I'm going to ring up again.
You should be safe enough with most other companies as far as I can tell.

ye i will have to have a ring about tomoz.

 

[Ian]

ye i will have to have a ring about tomoz.

I'd have a quick ask round but I think most people would say don't bother, but it's up to you fella.

[Flat Eric]

cheers for the photoshop mate, looks good. i think i will get my sidestrips done eventually, not too sure on the front and rear bumpers tho. lowering looks good aswell,

 

[cat171]

Wheels look loads better than the hubcaps it had on it, liking the ps. I'd go with lowering it a touch & a spot of colour coding too.

 

[adam_socks]

yeh ps does look good, i think if u got some colour coded mirrors and door handles, make a huge difference

Hey, did you use spacers to fit these alloys or did they fit fine without?

Cheers
Tom

alrite, they fit fine without, only problem i found was the plasticy wheel arch stuff rubbed on the inside of the tyre when i went round a corner. so i jacked it up took bk wheels off, drilled hole through the plastic and then cable tied it tight to the car. it was only the back which rubbed. so ye u shud be fine. i am looking for some spacers though. not sure where to get them from as it isnt my speciality. any help?

 

[Tigger]

Wheels look well on the car, as said will be the mutz nutz when lowered

ye totally agree, how much will it set me bk to have it lowered. i aint got no knowledge in lowering cars really.

Oh ok

I have just bought a similar set and was wondering if Ill need the spacers too. I think your best bet would be to contact those on here that are putting there non sport clios back to standard for selling, most of these people have the spacers going spare so Id ask them hope that helps cheers for helping me m8!
