[LiamR172]

Do you really need a thread for this?

Have a search and look at pictures and decide for yourself.

 

[bill]

[cliokid182]

2118s only come in 15" :rasp:

 

[Chip-mk1]

My preference is OZ F1, because if I need to pick up just one or two to replace damaged ones its easy to do.

That said, ive got a set of pro race 1.2 for sale after xmas if you want to ignore me and buy some anyway, lol

 

[cliokid182]

if anyone has any pics of any 15" wheels on eibach sportline sus il be happy i have only seen 1 pic im just worried about how much gap there will be in the arches ...

 

[MG cup]

I wish I hadn't read it tbh

"What wheels" What tyres" "What exhaust" is far to commonly posted.

Every combination of mainstream wheels exhausts etc have been done to death on these cars, within two pages of the forum you could have your answer.

Hence pointless thread

 

[cliokid182]

^^ lol and you still left a comment ........ its a forum for clio's what do you expect??? idiot

So why did you open it given the title?

Its not like the title was "understanding engine geometry and the effect rod ratio has at different points in the rev range" and then when you opened it you were tricked into reading about wheels instead after all?

 

[benhwolves]

Agree, pretty sure at some point everything has been discussed. That is the whole point of the forum as people come and go. Paul, have you still got the 182 as recall you posting up about 200's recently?

 

[MG cup]

Chip I opened the thread to see if something different was being done with wheels out of the ordinary as you do.

Nothing against the op or you cliokid (lol at idiot) but to have as much posts on CS and to not know what a set of 2118's, 1.2's or Turini's look like on a Clio, they are like ar**holes on here.

These threads are too frequently done and that's IMO

 

[Kyle 86]

16 inch turinis FTW buddy

Agree totally with u pal hes only asking for a bit of advice as per usual on here to many people are to quick to judge and make shitty snide comments

 

[Nmp1970]

I'm new to cs and new to clios in general and don't know what wheels are what, so I find these threads interesting. If you're so bored with the same old questions don't read. All people do when they talk like that is put people off joining.

[STEVOM]

My 182 on 15" speedlines with apex 40 or 60mm springs (un sure which) . But was quite low, now changed to eibach 15mm pro's as I prefer the comfort !

 

[paul]

yes still havbe the 182 hard to find a 200 with less miles than mine for what i want to pau (182 only on 31k)

 

[Chip-mk1]

What difference does it really make though if its in good condition? No real advantage to a 30k car over a 60k one.

low mileage often means its been used for all short journeys which is worse for it than doing more miles is.

 

[not normal dan]

Mileage never really bothered me, providing it has well documented history an been looked after by enthuiasts an specialists an looks, sounds and goes good on the day I'll buy it. As for wheels I'd go for 15" with a 195/50/15 tyre, gives loads of choice when it comes to tyres an in my opinion there ride better on that combo. Here was my old 172 on TD pro race 1.2's in anthicite.

what suspension did you have on this??

 

[not normal dan]

Gaz Gold coilovers, weren't bad but don't think I'd go down the gaz route again tbh. Fk Konigsport seem to get good reviews on here though

I like Gaz shocks as a senisblely priced option, they are ok performance for the money, and their service on rebuilds etc is quick and very well priced, so it makes it easy to keep them in tiptop condition.

Obvioulsy they arent like having AST's but they are better than some of the other budget brands, in fact even the lower model Gaz are still better than anything else for the same money IMHO

Yeah got to agree tbh, there performed well on track it was just there road manners weren't the best but hey there coilovers I guess. The build quality was good too an even though I never had mine serviced/refurbed a friend did an they were quick an reasonable price

Don't think I paid quite that, balance motorsport supplied mine iirc

 

[Barnett]

If you're going for 15" then 2118>everything
In my opinion of course, especially in anthracite.

From what I can remember the 2118's were abit heavier then the TD pro races an a fair bit dearer unless you can find a good used set

Ahhh kool, i see

 

[sbridgey]

I have OZ F1's as daily wheels and TD 1.2 for track use, I personally think buying OZ f1's second hand is not always a good idea as so many are no longer straight because they are not particularly strong. I bought a set and one was well bent luckily I found a replacement for £20 inc tyre.

 

[Chip-mk1]

That's the whole point of why i use the f1 as any problems and its easy to find one to replace it. Unlikely to find one pro race in the right offset etc in a hurry for sensible money.
Plus tbh slightly bent wheel is no issue on track anyway, only annoying on the motorway really.

 

[MartinR]

Superleggeras!! or f1's for ease of replacement as Chip has mentioned.

Turinis and 2118's are common as muck

I had a friend at rimstock at the time hence why I went for the pro races.

Yes! With the superleggera comment

I really like the 1.2 my turbo is on at the moment, strong, light and attractive, faultless really in terms of the wheels themselves, but for trackday rims I find it handy to have 5 or 6 in a set, so for example if I have a few tracksays in a row at combe, I know that I am going to utterly hammer the passenger side but barely touch the drivers side, so with 6 wheels I can have 4 pass side and 2 drivers side, and therefore save a fortune in keep getting the tyres taken off and swapped over etc, and OZ F1 allow me to easily do that.

Certainly see the logic of using f1's then, like you say easily available an cheap tbh. Yeah getting tyres swapped does soon get expensive
