What do you reckon

[viceroy]

Ive currently got these on my mk1 172 (came with the car) 16" 205/45 but Im still not totally convinced I like em.



I was thinking about trying to swap em for a set of the original mk1 172 wheels.

What do you guys reckon?

also mille miglia make some nice studded wheels. Imperia or somthing

 

[RobFenn]

They look good as long as your cars lowered big time

 

[viceroy]

Well the plan is to eventually lower the car, but Im N8_KOW on the studded wheels thing...not my cuppa tea.

Problem with sourcing original wheels is they will cost me 700 quid from Renault without tyres and finding second hand is difficult because I reckon there are fewer than 100 mk1 172s in the whole country (they sold about 20 a month).

I have a lead where I can get them for 420 pounds but Im not sure he still has them

Ok Ive eventually gotten round to getting some pics of the car with the wheels on...

I quite like them but i wouldnt of bothered, i think it would be quite cool to get the mk2 172 wheels on yours.
