Turini or not-turini

[Donny_Dog]

Started with this:

Decided to see if the 172 Cup Turini's would fit and if so, where rubbing would occur with Lowz + I am in two minds about the original wheels. I like them, but I have always loved the speedlines.... anyway...

Put them on when they were dirty and wasn't convinced, so washed the entire thing. Couldn't get them to scrub at all, so I think I'll keep 'em.

They need refurbing to be honest. Previous owner used a rattle can. I've managed to get away with them being 'as is' for nearly two years, but the poor finish is starting to show. I also got them without the diamond in the centre caps, so had to improvise! but finally got some proper inserts which will go on once painted.

I think they look better - only question is which/what colour should I have them refurbed in? Was thinking maybe a smoked chrome or the original silver or maybe even just the same colour....




Also, just a quick pic' of the re-trimmed wheel from Mikey, superb quality and craftsmanship. A MUST for any melted wheel owner IMO.

I think they look brilliant. Loving the wheel too.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Look good as they are to be honest. Nice wheel too.

Is that on coilovers or lowering springs? Looks spot on, I'm after a set of turini's for my B/G 182

 

[jesus]

Both sets of wheels suit it. Those tailpipes need adjusting though!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

The exhausts are too far in.

 

[RDH]

What coilovers are you running? I'm so tempted by turinis but mine scrubs on the standard cup wheels. Would the cup offset make a difference?

 

[fletch8]

get them turinis silver imo

 

[Paul172sport]

looks good just as is.

 

[Hixle]

Love that on the Turini's.

Wheel looks spot on too. Really want/need mine doing.

 

[Donny_Dog]

Cheers for the comments.

It's on vmaxx coil overs at the moment. Can't see where or how the cup wheels are meant to scrub!

Re: exhaust, not sure what you mean. It doesn't sit in? If anything it sits out a bit. See first pic.

I've heard the rb has gone?

Sad times.

Lowz 4 Selby Hoez.

Tough call mate. I trust the AP's have adjustable front camber? Vmaxx has
Like I said, have a run in mine and see what you think.

 

[Deany]

niiiiiiice.

 

[Austin-182]

Look great. What size tyres are they?

 

[dezmondo]

Although I love silver turinis (got them on mine) your bg looks great with the dark anthracite and I'd get them refurbished the same!

 

[batesey]

Looks great that! althought i love silver turini's on Black clio's

 

[Jordi17]

They are very smart. I do love 182 standard wheels but they suit it down to the ground

 

[nickyg]

They look stunning .

 

[Toms_clio]

Does that mean good?! My nephew keeps saying 'sickage'. I thought he had an ailment, but he says it means 'cool'.

When I was a lad, we used to say cowabunga and stuff

I loved Tenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I was a nipper

 

[craigt]

IS there any where you can get turini's from now brand new in that metalic colour?

 

[Will.]

They need to be silver turnins tbh.

 

[ch!ppen]

Looks lovely.

Yeah. Trophy turini's are that colour iirc.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Looks bang on with the turini's.

 

[Alx]

I love a good turini, and those on you bg are no exception

 

[Feirny]

Looks fit.

Raphael was the coolest turtle dudes...! Bloody loved them back in the day!! Fair play BG with anthracite turini's is a winner! Personal preference would be for the tail pipes to sit more in the bumper but lovely looking car all the same!

vmaxx coilies you have i take it they are 60mm cup packed, where can you get these from?

Yup. 519 on here still do them I think.

 

[Howell]

Spot on mate! Love that

 

[koi]

Both look good but think silver turinis would look even better!

 

[toomer]

Love that mate, looks spot on!

 

[Donny_Dog]

I wish someone would photoshop the wheels silver...
