What Wheels For My Full Phat 182

[azzer2000]

Im lookin for some 17s for my 182, iv seen some TSW freeze that i like, what do u think these would look like on a 182? and, i know this has been asked a thousand times, what is the offset for the cup susspension??. Also, has anyone got any photos of a 182 with 17s on???? How much do u think ill get for my standard 182 wheels?

I wouldn't go for TSW's in my opinion they are budget wheels and before you know it every boy racer in there 1.1 fiesta will be rolling on the same wheels. Shop around and see what styles alreay work for the Clio, I took a bit of a risk with my wheels, i'd never seen my wheels on any car let alone a clio, but it paid off cos they look phat. Some TSW wheels look ok but there are definetly better classier wheels on the market.

Stick with OZ, Speedline or Pro Race IMO.

If you drive hard stick to 16s if you are a poser go for 17s, IMO

^^^ I was going to say, better to stick to 16's imo.

shame they dont do a 16.5" wheel. 17`s look a bit too big and 16" a bit too small.. 16.5" would be perfect imo. in fact 16.5 x 8 would look phat without being ott.

I know what you mean.

Renault obviously choose 16's for a reason, so that's why I would stick to that - even if they do look a little small.

Deck it on 16s and they won't look as small.

Or get a 16 inch wheel where the spokes go right to the edge of the rim - it'll give the optical illusion of the wheel looking bigger than it actually is! The same applies in reverse - a wheel with spokes that sit inside a chunky outer rim will look smaller than they really are.

true. my old 172MKII had aftermarkte rims and everyone thought they were 17`s due to the spoke size and thin rim, yet the turinis almost look like 15`s for some reason.

i like those ktec ones, but how much lighter are all these wheels than the turinis ? and really, how much better looking ?
i would ditch any 172MKII standard wheels though as there fitted to just about every clio now 1.2/1.4 etc.. perhaps there in 15`s but they look almost identical.
182 wheels are like old horse and kart wheels but still nice.
