Wheels for RSi

[RSi Dave]

Im looking at getting rid of the 14" RSi rims for some bigger ones, now i really want some Williams alloys in white but there quite hard to come by so im now looking into some other alloys. I like the idea of some standard alloys i.e. clio trophy etc.. but being im new to clio's im not sure what is about or what would fit being that ive not got Valver/Williams arches.

Can someone list alloys which came standard on clios / renaults (with pics if poss)

or can you suggest any other alloys which would look good on a black RSi

cheers

Road Wheels are OZ Titans, they no longer make them though.

never been keen on titans for some reason, but i like your RSi.

do all clio alloys fit mk1?

im not sure which are 4 stud and 5 stud?

Do what i've done mate - stick with the 14" RSI wheels mate and swap the tyres out for 185/55's. This will give you the same diameter as low profile 195/45/15s so will improve acceleration and also give a larger footprint for more grip. The other bonus of the RSI wheels is that they're only about 6.5kgs each - lighter than any other standard clio alloy!

BTW All clio alloys are 4 stud so will fit your RSI. Have a look at some R19 phase 1 alloys if you don't fancy my RSI wheel idea...would look ace on a clio IMO

cheers for the replies, ive narrowed it down to either williams wheels, them 172 oz wheels (in the sale section) or these (below), but unsure what clios to find them on! Also ive been told that the 172 and 182 alloys wont fit cos of the offset.

The ones above are only found on 172 Cups but you can also buy exactly the same wheel from the wheel manufacturer minus the reno centre caps...they're made by speedline and called turinis.

The other ones you're thinking of are probably the std alloys off the phase1 172 (the bug eyed one)...again you can by these from the wheel manufacturer...IIRC they're made by OZ.

Don't wory about the offset in either of these wheel are they're both about ET35 mark which i correct for a mk1...its the phase 2 172 wheels you have to watch out for as these are a higher offset...likely probs are they'd need spacers to shift them out.

Hope this helps
