wheels for my 197???

[mbarnes]

Ok, been looking at a new set of wheels for the 197.

want something racer inspired, not necessarily a rally wheel, but something purposeful and hardcore lol.

looked at turini's, they are being released in 8x17 for the 197 soon, in anthracite and white.

also thought about some nice, hardcore, image split rims like these EV ones.

finding anything that fits is a pain lol.

Oz do the superL but thats a bit spindly for me. Turinis have been done ALOT but no denying they are a nice wheel.

what do you lot think?

white turinis in 17

anthracite turinis

ev image wheels with anthracite centres and polished lips

i also like these wheels. they are forged pro race 1.4g's and are OE on the exige2 cup260. Not available in the right offset though, although i am checking with suppliers lol

225 18's or Turini's in 18! They look seriously good!

 

[mbarnes]

dont want 18s, too big, too heavy and tyres to thin lol.

17" Turinis or the megane ones I posted a while back on a black 197 stunning.

I'll have a look for the picture mate.

Heavy bent!

 

[BioHzrd]

Dont get Turinis !!!!!!!

 

[mbarnes]

Heavy bent!

makes no sense?

lol, this is the turini appreciation club isnt it. Biohazard, you are banned lol.

Nah, i like the turini's but i am not sure whether its a bit boring. £1k's worth of wheels and nothing special?

 

[mbarnes]

priced up those image wheels. £1400 + tyres. not too bad i reckon.

 

[Craig]

what about pro race 1.2s?

lol, i think i obviously just have different tastes. dont like those wheels at all. too thin and spindly. yeah i know they are lightweight but hey.

think i may go down the image route, fcuk it, it will be different at least

 

[Gally]

Please don't buy those wheels! I'll pay you not to buy them!

 

[mbarnes]

which ones? the image wheels?

 

[Gally]

Yes the image ones.

 

[santoz]

i've a set of ev image wheels 18" with new rubber on them which will be for sale soon, for quite cheap compared to what there worth!

4 stud, need to find out the PCD but i no image will re-engineer these for not too much!

only thing bout them is that there heavy ass rims!

 

[mbarnes]

you got any pics santoz?

not sure how image could redrill them to 5 stud without basically reworking the whole rim.

information may be useful though, and pics

how heavy is heavy? i suppose no 18" wheel is going to be that light.

 

[santoz]

a fair bit over standard 182 16" 's lol!

forgot 197 is 5 stud, might be a good bit more
there 4x108 15-25

pics below!
they've been sitting in storage for a year so need a wee polish up though!

 

[Gally]

It's just got a whole lot worse people!

 

[mbarnes]

what would you suggest then gally?

 

[scott1205]

i like the second and thrid pics

 

[Gally]

Don't buy those wheels! They are on a citroen xsara/xantia ffs!

 

[mbarnes]

lol, well i wont be buying those exact wheels as they wont fit. but may buy the style of wheel.



citroen in speedline turini shocker

 

[c__w]

Stick with the factory 197 wheels, they look nice.

Those split rims look :quiet:

 

[Gally]

Those are ultraleggeras?

 

[mbarnes]

lol, good point gally, wrong pic.

oh well. i will see how i feel next week lol. might have changed my mind by then. not that keen on the standard wheels so will be changing to something at some point lol

 

[Šįk]

Try compamotive, they do a good Selection of motorsport race wheels which am sure would fit!

Anthraite Turinis for me...

Those Image ones look like some Ripspeed special
