[philthy]

3 different compounds and mop wheels
Im only doing 2 for the fronts and get new 1" ones for the back

 

[R20 CWH]

good work, will be loads of graft, but should produce a great finish.

is it going to be a mare to keep it that way?

 

[philthy]

yea probably, im not putting them on til the spring/summer so they are fresh for longer

 

[xcore]

go 2" at the back!

Nah, doesn't give as good a look as i found out wi ma willy rims! But yeh will certainly reduce the maintainance!

superb rims, to fit a 205/50 on that tho will be a shame, id go 195/45 on a 2" inch dish and have them for show only. Get some cheap 172 wheels or something for track.

If you hit something on track and these were all polished up, well i'd be crying anyway.

205s wont look stretched if thats the look your after.

Cant wait to see anyway..

 

[philthy]

I have 4x A048s of my brothers in the garage that will fit the rims that are on the car just now for track days so i might just get some slightly stretched tyres to fit the BBS.

I dont want to compromise grip though, Ive had 205s on a 9" rim before and the handling was shot.

PS autoshine - il keep on top on the polishing, any laquer just spoils the shine

 

[rustybolt]

what width will they be? 9"?

 

[philthy]

right now 7"

 

[rustybolt]

are you going wider?

 

[Type_Mo]

not too keen on them tbh, they just dont look right on the mk2 clio's.

but if you like then then thats all that matters tbh!

 

[patty]

love those wheels - will look smart.

 

[philthy]

are you going wider?

possibly on the rear only

 

[rustybolt]

Those wheels will look special if you fit the right tyres. Cant wait to see it so keep this thread updated.

 

[philthy]

update, I bored out one enough to trial fit the fronts.

and....

they dont fit over the calipers.... f**king 4 pots.
so they are for sale. 350 plus del if anyones interested?
