Sorry about the picture size I used Image Shack and wanted to do it quick as on way out. They were £500 off of Cliosport in the For Sale Section with 4 brand new tyres.

I sold the old wheels and the new tyres on for £475 so I lost £25, a tank of fuel, and a little bit for a tyre fitter to do a changeover. But I think its worth it!

 

[Nick_R182]

That looks awsome!

 

[Matbrown]

Think i prefer them in silver.



Mat.

 

[dutty_112]

looks mint, needs lowering

 

[Aberclio182]

Wheels like good mate, what exhaust is that you have got?

 

[Mondial172]

Whos changed their thophys wheels then?

 

[rcp]

Stunning mate!

I think Im going to have to get some now!

 

[Dave]

Its a Hayward and Scott Exhaust. Though its on the piss and needs to be played with

The Pics dont do it justice!! Spent couple of hours with tech wax and mirror glaze from Meguiars and waxed the wheels for a third time. Im determined to keep this set MINT.

 

[rcp]

Can you do some more pics further away from the car, like the 3rd one?

 

[Dave]

Maybe when I get a minute mate, what are you looking at in particular? Out of interest.

AdamF I dont actually know the origin of these wheels, suffice to say as they came new in boxes from Renault....they never actually graced a Trophy!

 

[rcp]

Just like to see more shots further away from car, to see if they look smaller than the standard wheels. Thats all.

 

[Dave]

They do IMO. lol

 

[Dave]

JESUS look at the bump strip on the pasenger side!! Never noticed that. Cant see it clearly but I believe it shows that its doing its job!

[Mr172Mk1]

Big -

 

[Dave]

Cheers for all the positive comments people! I fear I wont be the last to do it but I might be among the first?

Judging by the amount of 182 alloys on Ebay there certainly seem to be a lot of people with wheel plans!

 

[GarethM]

look sweet as fook dude

 

[JayR]

Look good mate and they were a bloody bargain at £500 id say!!!

 

[badinvincible]

Very nice sir.

 

[Dave]

No hard feelings then ha ha!

 

[badinvincible]

Just as well you cant see my dartboard...

 

[Liam]

is it just the pics or do they look slightly smaller wheels than the standard artic blue alloys? i realise they are the same.

 

[Dave]

The spokes on the std wheels come right to the edge at a raised height IIRC therefore appearing bigger and chunkier. On the speedline wheels the outside lip of the wheel makes the tyre appear a lower profile IMO but the wheels do look smaller yes.

 

[rmccardal]

looks good .. dont suppose youd fancy letting me see if they would fit over my brakes ? (expenses paid)

 

[Christopher]

lovely stuff.

 

[Lagerlout]

very nice... my turinis look smaller than my 172 wheels used to. People never believe they are 16s lol.
