What would you do?

[shandyruss]

So got myself a set of 15" Matt Black Pro Race 1.2.... just got 2 problems.

1/ It's still winter and I don't really want to fit them yet...

B/ I'm running standard shocks on Eibach springs. Think I might need coilovers...

So... What do I do?

Car as is now...

All suggestions welcome...

Who cares what time of year it is, they belong outside, as intended by the manufacturer.

They're wheels, not a puppy.

Fire them on and drive it, like a man.

 

[imprezaworks]

Personally i wouldnt put them on














Sell them to me for half what you paid for them please, ideal track wheels


Thanks

I would disagree...

Some people put their puppies outside in the winter... and they clearly don't belong there.

So... why would you want to scratch your shiny wheels up on gritty/salty/muddy roads when it's dark pretty much most of the time? Keep them indoors until the spring and then fit them when the weather improves.

Your car looks better on the 16" anyway IMO.

 

[shandyruss]

Well I would sell them for £200 if you're interested...

 

[shandyruss]

I am kidding btw.... Won't 15's look silly when on normal shocks!?!

Scratch them, with salt.

okay.

Bung them on for a week, see how they look day to day,
then make your decision after 7 days.

Haha.... As if!!!

Think I'm gonna fit them for 7 days.... If I think I need coilovers, I'll take them off and wait out! Cheers guys.... Oh... and they're not for sale!!!! Haha

 

[Jaff.]

Who needs coilovers?

Is it a life threatening situation?

 

[Donny_Dog]

Are they a direct fit? Most popular in ford pcd aren't they?

I wouldn't worry about putting them or coilovers - spacers first

 

[shandyruss]

I'll pop into my Uncle's place next weekend and get the car on the ramp. Wheels off and on in 5 minutes.... then pics up for a debate! Will update Saturday afternoon and see what the consensus is.....

They should be a direct fit. I told them they were for a Clio 2 RS. We shall see...

First rule of cliosport.net club, no jokes Just stick them on mate, sure they will be fine

 

[shandyruss]

Haha... cheers buddy!

Here's a snap of mine on sportlines to give you an idea of how they sit. I'd put them on now, see how you feel. Winter's not gonna be that harsh on 'em!!

[Jackwoody]

Have you got a cup because I have some coilovers coming up for sale

 

[cliokid182]

im glad your doin this because i have eibachs on now and im going to go to 15's i wanted to see if i need coil overs or not

 

[Martin.]

I run my 15s on standard shocks and sportlines. Works a treat on track for me!

 

[shandyruss]

Well... I've fitted them!!!

I know the calipers need doing. Will do them over X-mas as I have a month off!!!! :clap:

 

[Tomas]

Looks good, but needs lowered a tad.

What colour you gonna paint the calipers? Gloss Black?

 

[shandyruss]

Already lowered but gonna have to get coilovers. Gloss black will probably be the best bet!

 

[Tomas]

Aye how much is it lowered atm?

 

[shandyruss]

Eibach sportlines on standard shocks. Think they are 30mm springs....
