cromodora ?

Can anyone give me some brief info on these wheels ...cost...availability..pros/cons etc Thanks. to fit a Ph2....when i get one !

About £2k for a really good set.
You need spacers and longer bolts.
Rears stick out a bit too much for some tastes.
They suit Ph1's better IMO
Extremely rare, good luck with your hunt.

They are lighter to lift :approve:

Rare as hens teeth......Very expensive......
They have a high magnesium content so be careful running through winter as the salt off the roads will eat them. To fit a Ph2 you'll need 15mm spacers up front and rears straight fit but sit slightly proud of rear arches.

France if you want to buy new. See post #18 on the below link.

Trophy parts

Thanks . Can you still get them new ? I'd prefer just to bolt on without trying to make them fit ... doesnt sound right . Just like the look of them . I'm presuming after market wheels will be a problem then?
I see comp mo's have been tried,but dont quite look right (to me) perhaps custom made to fit is the answer , had this done on an Evo 6 some years back .

These aren't the Magnesium trophy wheels you speak of, they're still Cromodoras but not magnesium, and 17 rather than 18

I know this because I've bought them, I fancy the trophy look and summer/winter tyres, I don't fancy the 3 grand price tag

I picked up a set cheap.................so they are out there if you're lucky.

Mine had been on a Tarmac Rally car so weren't in the best of nick.

However, just had them refurbished for £250, chucked some new tyres on and I'm very pleased with the end product.

I also agree it's not an ideal fit to a Phase II, but then again I'm not going to use the car that often (I work away half the year).

But it was more the look I was after, just to have a slightly different look on a Titanium car.

Best of Luck.

Yes I have to agree they probably look the best on a Titanium car as per your picture and yes I like the look and wouldnt be using it that much....all of which is probably irrelevant ...till I get one !! Just dreaming for the time being.

2tsg, don't let that hold you back - I bought my wheels before I had a Clio :s

Working away at the moment Matt..............pics will be sorted once home :salut:

Really good look on a ti car, probably suit lunar and black as well.
I'd like a set purely for the special/ different factor but if I'm honest I prefer the standard wheels, I'm also not sure they look too good on a Blue car.

Some of the Guys on hear have their cars sounding superb...........as for the 6R4 sound..........just don't think they can rev the same :s

set for sale here with tyres, required bolts and spacers if you move quickly:

Its impossible to make a vee sound like a 6r4. The clio has a 60* V6 and the metro has a 90*. Fitting a trophy flywheel and clutch will allow it to rev up similar although conrods and cyliner head mods will be needed to push the revs up toward 9k rpm.
