hi my name is craig, i ave been driving for couple months now and have been given a renault clio extreme 1.2 16v as my dad shud be taking delivery of his is 197 next week. my dilema is deciding on wat alloy wheels to buy, i have narrowed it down to 2 sets, which fall into my budget. any feed bk on the wheels wud be great.

1. wolfrace asia tech kendo
2. wolfrace pro sprint

And also wud it be sufficient enough to lower it by 30mm

thanks for ur time :) and im looking forward to talkin to u all very soon

kind regards
Craig

Id go for anthracite wheels on that colour, in 16", and lower it 60mm. The 182 cup wheels would look good. Few sets in the for sale section on here.

30mm wont look much lowered at all mate.

My old extreme on 17" mygales, lowered 60mm.

F**k 17s....with lowering springs it'll kill the ride/handling.

Go for 16s with a sensible drop.

Ive just taken delivery for my Wolfrace Asia Tec Suzuka's (205/40/17). They go great with my car and it's the same colour as yours. I'll post some pic's up within the next couple of days.

Pretty tidy actually mate. I'm now not sure I want to drop mine at all.. Still got some good clearance between the wheel arch and the tyre, but I think 30mm is all I could get in without rubbing or rolling the arches. So ill see what it's like for a couple of weeks :)

Here's the wheel anyway:

Tbh mate, and this is purely my opinion I wouldn't have black wheel's as im not sure in a few months ill be happy with the look. (Kendo's are black multi-spoked with silver lip??). They are a nice wheel, but with our colour I think it clashes. Either way it will still look tidy :)

Yea I thought it was that wheel. Very nice, that wheel will look a million quid on the Clio. Yea I got msn. You can add me now, but I can only get on it at home, and im at work now.

I'll drop you a PM.

No trouble at all, although it did make the ride harsh, but I wasn't too bothered about that. Got minor rubbing at the rear with 205's fitted so added some 5mm spacers and this cured it. No rubbing at the front.

Sorry but those kendo's look terrible mate! Seriously! Dead cheap and tacky.

Id go for what daz had, 16" 182 wheels, dropped 60mm. Anthracite looks good against the cyclone blue. Will cost you far less than £800 too!

I'm not a fan of either of the Wolfrace wheels posted up, they look a bit too bling for my liking. I'd go with a set of 182 alloys & spotof lowering tbh.
Unless you want the car to stand out with the Wolfrace alloys ?

Clio_Craig

to be honest guys, i want the car to stand out, i see wat ur saying about the 182 alloys, but im not that keen on them, im working wiv a budget. the picture of the kendo's are not the same colour as the ones im getting
 
C

Clio_Craig

well the alloys tyres springs and fitting is all about 770£ from r-tec
but im limited on what alloys i can have, wat u reckon m8?

They look soooo cheap.

The clio is not a chav chariot and shouldn't have chavvy wheels fitted to it!

Get some 172 FF alloys OR 182 anthracite alloys.

Don't get 17s if you value the handling and ride.

dont like any of the wheels youve posted sorry, looks like something a 17 year old would throw on with his neon washer jets and alluminium wiper blades.
