Undecided on what alloys to get. Help me out

[Liam580]

Hey guys i have recently bought a clio i thinking about getting new alloys and what suggestions on what to get as my alloys buckled alot.

if you think i should do anything else to my car dont be scared to say it

This is a picture of my clio:

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Standard Renault ones.

Lights, wind deflectors and bottom lip thing on the bumper are all awful IMO

 

[alexr19]

lights arent good. seen the lip on the bumper in black/grey before and it looked good

 

[Aydon182]

Team dynamics pro race 1.2 or Renault turini's

 

[Stefan.]

seriously how do lexus lights still exist, burn them all!!!

 

[dezmondo]

All of the above!

 

[leeds_182]

Lights are gash. I'd go for some standard lights, standard 172 wheels and lower the car a bit.

I'm selling some 16" Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2's in White with good tyres if you're interested?

 

[Toby]

F1's and standard lights.

Drop.

 

[Liam580]

dont think white alloys would suit it

 

[Whirly172]

Team dynamics pro race 1.2 or Renault turini's

+1 or standard 172 alloys

Get the standard Renault 172 ones mate, always look good on flame red. And bin the lights. Here is mine, I know yours isn't a 172, but it would look similar (albeit mine is lowered).

Cheers mate. Hopefully given you some inspiration on changing yours.....you know the 172 wheels make sense!

 

[johnbryan45]

Standard 172 lights and wheels!

 

[Layts ( L44 YTS )]

Agree burn them all :lolup:

 

[Liam580]

standard 172s and standard lights and lowered 40mm?

 

[sbridgey]

standard 172s and standard lights and lowered 40mm?

And you will probably need wheel spacers

 

[Liam580]

And you will probably need wheel spacers

sorry im A New kid lol what will wheel spacers do?

 

[sbridgey]

Make the wheels sit further out in order to fill the arches

thanks man any certain type ?

Wheel spacers esentially space the wheel out from the hub to give the car a wider track with the wheels filling the arches better for improved appearance (and handling). They can be one of two types called flat, and hubcentric. Avoid flat spacers, although they are cheaper, because all of the load of the car is held by the wheel bolts (not good). Hubcentric spacers have a flange in the centre (like the cars hub) which bears the weight as the original hub would making it much safer and more stable.

Some (like Delta Mics) are steel and a bit weighty (remember to try and keep unsprung weight to a minimum) but others like H+R and Eibach are alloy and a better bet. Do a search on sizes as popular choices seem to range from 10mm per side to up to 25mm.

lose the waff lights.

buy steelies and paint them white. No need to get precious if/when you scuff them then
