18" Turini Clio R27

[jackscup]

Been looking for a decent set of wheels for my r27 but options seem limited. Found a 18" set of Turini's ( K-tec ) and wondered if anyone fitted them yet. Would love to see some pics.

Any thoughts on looks, handling and price? ( 250 each )

Thanks

look mint on k-tecs car. very expensive though. I'd be looking at meggy 18's as well

 

[Christophe]

could be wrong but is this k-tecs car? Think these may only be 17"

 

[Ali]

^No they're 18's.

You cant go wrong with turinis they look great!

yep thats k-tecs rolling on 18's

Looking good. Figured that white on a yellow r27 might even be better. If only the price was right. Haven't seem them for sale anywhere else though.

How would they affect handling? Like fitting 17" on a 172 cup?

k-tec seem to think they are fine, and a lot of people run 18" meggy wheels fine to. Wouldnt go white on yellow though

Is that Ktec car running without spacers??

25mm spacers should be standard fit on 197s. It's the best way to improve the look of the car.

disagree Mark, having seen a couple running 25mm spacers now, I think 25mm is too much!

TBH. 1 inch either way is never going to make a night and day difference good or bad.

Those who say 17" kills the handling on Clio2's have probably either never tried it, or have used bad rubber (aka the tyres that usually come with new wheels).

agree 25mm is a lot, not sure about too much.
I just think the 197 looks as though it's had wider arches fitted without having the track changed from the 1.2 models. Even though that's not the case....needs spacing

Personally I think they look awful on a mk3 clio. They suit the mk2 a treat though.

100% agree! Imo 17's were brillaint on track!

You need new contracts Craig!

First time I've seen a MK3 rollin' on Turinis and think they look pretty good!
