[jonny_rs]

cheers guys

****if anyone has any turinis or oz ultraleggera's PM me****

Loads of my bus on 16'' 'trophy' turinis. Not sure on what weight, but the ultraleggeras would be lighter.

16" and they are lighter than some wheels but you wont notice much of a difference

 

[Addz]

16's are needed imo, 15's look a bit tiny

 

[jonny_rs]

Yea think im swaying to 16", i can just fit my standard 172 tyres to them to right?

 

[Fletcher]

^^Yep, I did.

 

[Will.]

15s ftw. Just slame it more

 

[jonny_rs]

sweet, just trying to get hold of a seconhand set now

 

[Hutchie]

15" wheels can work but i reccomend 16"

Spot on!

If it's lightness you're after then the oz's would be best to be honest. Turinis aren't that light to be honest. If you want them to look better in the arches then 16" is the way to go

 

[jonny_rs]

16's just sit better i think,good to see though

 

[Quade]

16" turini weighs 8.5kg!

 

[jonny_rs]

really?? i take it thats not heavier than standard 172 wheel tho?!

Slightly lighter. A 15" oz ulraleggera weighs in at 4.99kg

 

[clio_luke]

15" looks great if lowered about 60mm. lighter and cheaper rubber.
i have 16" ultraleggeras on mine jonny as you probably know. they are noticably lighter that turinis, thats why i went for them, plus the fact that everyone has turinis.

its not silver like yours but it gives you an idea on how ultraleggeras look on ph2 clios.
lowered on sportlines.

 

[clio_luke]

oh and also a good point to make, the ultraleggeras made a big difference on cooling my brakes down from the standard wheels. changed the car to be honest.

Can you get Turinis in 15"? Don't think I've ever seen any pics them.

 

[Nick172Cup]

I've got a set of 16" Ultraleggeras in silver that will be up for sale soon, very light indeed!

 

[jonny_rs]

Luke your 182 is sweet, im happy for the mean time but really not a big fan of the standard 172 wheels! need some ultraleggeras with a 30mm drop,what you think?

 

[clio_luke]

ultraleggeras and sportlines (30mm drop) will look spot on imo. but then again i would say that
had apex that were about 40mm/50mm drop and the ride was pretty harsh, not sure if that was down to the make of the spring or the extra 10mm/20mm drop. but sportlines are a great compromise and sharpen up the handling nicely.

 

[jonny_rs]

i was heading towards prolines? whats the difference?

 

[clio_luke]

prolines barley drop at all. they handle nice and precise tho but you won't notice the car is lowered at all.
sportlines handle just as good imo and is a noticable drop without being stupidly low.
apex lower a lot! but handling is sacrificed.

i have had all 3 sets on my car and its sportlines for me every time. great all-rounder.

 

[jonny_rs]

did you fit them yourself? how much you rekon it would cost to fit all round sportlines inc the springs?

 

[clio_luke]

not the best pics jonny but...

prolines

sportlines

apex

just so you get an idea.
it you type in 'sportlines' etc... in the search box at the top you should be able to find lots of pics of different springs.

 

[clio_luke]

no i didn't fit them myself. jabba did it for me. i guess its only an hour's labour. not a difficult job to do but i just let them do all of the work on my car to be honest.
i think the springs are £130 (could be wrong on that tho) and £40/ £60 to fit?

 

[jonny_rs]

nice one, is that jabbasport in near p'boro? fingers crossed i get me some wheels! apex looks the best but ride is quite important to me..still got to give me nan lifts to the doctors

 

[clio_luke]

yeah jabbasport near crowland peterborough, although i guess most garages would do it for you but i would get tracking/alignment etc done at the same time.
haha! im sure your nan will be fine rolling on sportlines.

Mine as well!!!! See you'r from Chihuahua, me from MX City

15 Turinis are 7.2kg, look good too but they are tiny. 16 look best.
