I have a 1.4 16v mk3 clio and need to know the best way to fit some 197 sport alloys. Do i get a hub conversion (and if so where from) or is it possible to change to 5 stud another way? Thanks!

I know this sounds stupid but they actually look better in person.. And they were far from cheap!

I crashed my car into a curb and smashed one of the alloys so i thought it was time for a new set! I had standard 15" and now i have 17" with low profile tyres! It still needs lowering but i'm going to wait a few weeks for that! Let me know what you think :)

Ok thanks!

Doesn't the speedo go out a bit at high revs?

I managed to smash the back driver's side alloy and consequently bent the rear axel.. I was planning on getting some new alloys anyway but now it's definate! First of all will i need to get the ECU re-mapped for 16" alloys because it won't know that it has larger wheels and therefore will make...

Thanks :)

Hi everyone! I'm planning on spraying my alloys dark grey, but i'm not 100% confident that i'll do a good job so i need a bit of help 1) Do i need special paint or can i use any standard metal spray paint? 2) Is the clear coat necessary? (i'm guessing so but just thought i'd check first) 3)...

These pics are awesome! The car looks great! i can't wait to get mine!

For a mk3?

I can't seem to find a RS grille anywhere! can anyone help at all? Would be much appreciated! :)

I'm getting it lowered and putting spacers on so shouldn't look too bad, and its gunmetal grey.. and i think it's a phase 1! They only do 15" in these alloys, i was thinking about 16's at first, just depends what i can find :)
