Are they RXIIs off a Polo 6N2 GTI and the centres bored out? Or aftermarket RXIIs?

Either way they really suit the car.

OK I think ive come to the conclusion that although the BBS's are cool im not 100% sold on them..... the wheel hunt begins :D

Im not sure whether to go motorsport styled or something with a bit of a dish like a BBS RM ?

There are some great looking motorsport rims out there, particularly liking Sparco Assetto alloys, could look awesome in 15" with lows!

@OP - I really really like that. Different yet very smart! Please don't change the wheels.

Nice job, mate. Looks the dog's danglies! Just out of interest, did you get your Sachs adjusted at all? I'm just curious because I went down that route when I had them rebuilt and - in conjunction with the struts, etc. - find that they can be adjusted now to be extremely adaptable to both A-, B-roads and on track.

Either way - awesome. :D

The thing I found was that they were still quite soft even on full +. The other thing I hated was the ride height so my instant choice was a mid end coilovers setup. I drove a friends cup and h+r's with the up rated springs etc and that was that I was sold!

Wheels will be for sale this week as I have just collected my new ones :)

Fair points, mate. At the end of the day you go with what suits you and your driving. And you can't argue with what you've done :D Enjoy!

Just noticed this.

Love the whole car, bit weird doing it to a Trophy though, unless you really like red!

I'm a "trendlines & turinis/2118s if you have to, but otherwise keep it as Renaultsport intended" person. But...

Love the wheels. Love the seats.

Definitely one of my favourite Clios on CS!

Noticed you've kept the standard seat mounts. Luke that, do you actualy sit any lower? I want to fix the seating position as it does my head in. I have an rs wheel as well, but with those seats and no air bag I'm thinking of harnesses. Let me know what you think of your seating position now if you wouldn't mind.

Anti-OEM! :D And why not?! I'm hoping to get along to a Trophy meet or two, mate. I haven't got out on as many meets as I would have liked what with an exceptionally busy work calendar and the problems I've been having. All being well next year will be a different story. I wouldn't mind seeing your Trophy to be honest.

Sounds like a plan, mate. Hopefully I'll be able to get along to a few ClioSport meets, too (both locally and nationally). If ever you are in South Wales and fancy a drive then give me a shout. :D

Sounds like a plan, mate. I'm in Nottingham quite often... I'm Nottinghamshire born, went to Uni in Nottingham and my sister and parents still live there. :D Sorted!

Done! Fancy a meet first thing in the new year? ill try and get a few members from around here could make a day of it!

I have just fitted my new wheels some Comp MO6's in 16x7 cosmos black :D they look cool! a very different look to the BBS wheels alot more track focused. I have also test fitted the cage as the fabricator has been taking measurements for the bolt in mountings (to make it bolt into the existing seatbel locations.

Then the engine!!
