Top ones for sure.

They are slightly more subtle and the clio isn't a hard looking car.

Deffo top ones

If I had the choice I would go for Velox, Buddy, Kei, OZ, or Enkei. All offer lightweight rigidity in 17's. But if none of the aforementioned, then definitely the Wolfrace.
 
cheers for that mate i do like the wolfrace and i can get them cheaper than the other 2...i will look into the other ones though..any other comments or has anyone got the wolfrace on their car

cheers mate for that i would love turini mate but they are too expensive for seventeens!!! looks like maybe the boss are a winner but are they worth 100 extra in money..... hmmmm
 
i know mate but i dont really want to be riding around at 1000mph want something that looks the business but i still safe for overtaking he he

17's don't ruin the ride that much, if at all. I prefer them to the 16's I am running on at moment while I refurb the others. I dont hink I have actually noticed a difference in ride quality. It hink its a myth lol

^^^ the difference is certainly noticeable.

It makes the ride feel hard, it handles much worse, feels snappy, tramlines, makes the driver paranoid of potholes, look s**t as they look as though they belong on a massey not a renault and for good tyres you are looking at 100 quid a piece plus!

Apart from that I whole heartedly recommend 17s...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm well I like them, and on my car, mine is the only opinion that counts lol

Yeah of course - your car your opinion. Aslong as you are sure you aren't forgetting what 15s/16s felt like?

I still got 16's on 17s are poorly lol (not my doing). It the 17's when I bought it. I like them at least they are 17 F1's nothing chavvy just bigger than standard. Plus not seen them on any other clio rs so its diferent.
 
hi guys have made my decision and ordered my wolfrace wheels having seen them in the flesh and on the clio the picture does not do them justice and for over 100 less he he will get some pics up when cheers guys for your help

Not all 17's look bad. But some people think you lose handling etc etc etc etc etc, but would you honesty notice on todays roads? I doubt it. As for turinis........ don't get me started!!!!
