Having wheels made

[Iow v6]

Hi guys I love my clio but I would like to change the wheels .I like the split rim deep dish on the renault turbo.
with the offset can it be done [smilie=thanks.gif]

Could get a set custom made but guessing you'll need deep pockets!!!!

Hi bud I spoke to Scott at sg motor sport lovely guy I always take my car there . He told me to give image wheels a call which I did .They were very helpful and sent me a drawing of what I need to measure .I know it will not be cheap but I think they will be in keeping .I just did not know if any one had gone down this route .its cheaper than a turbo 2 she should be pleased :ihatpcs:

Quite a bit of information on here about custom wheels Performance alloys
Let us know how you get on Phil, sounds very interesting :salut:

Thanks Phil if you get a chance have a look they are called rm2's cast 3 piece wheels . I think it should look good if I can get the rim deep enough. mix a bit of old and new style :salut:

Forget it. Its impossible to have deep dishes on the car especially if you are thinking along the same lines as T2's. I looked into doing something with my split rims (O.Z Futura's) but the rears have very little offset. The outer dishes on mine are around 25mm and if I added any more they would be nudging the arches on full bump at the rear.
When you say RM2's are you refering to the 8 spoke Minilite type of wheel??? Pretty sure Martin runs them on his Maxi but that is an 80's grp B esque car where they are kind of in keeping with the car.

The wheels on the Vee looks spot on imo...It's the one area that I wouldn't consider changing!

No this one has been washed at least once.

He is still visiting the forum most days, he's just a very shy wee lad.

To be fair, you can call that car all you want but when I first see it at FCS many vee owners gave it the thumbs up and even wanted to know where he got his front splitter from. It was pretty perfectly executed for a rep. Its just a shame its had countless ammounts of shit added to it.

Good grief!

Obviously that thing is only meant to be shown off, and not driven in anger...........but even then it fails to deliver. :s

Have to agree! As far as reps go it is top notch!

Totally agree Brett, think it was 2010 FCS. one of the best reps I have seen.

Shame it's gone all eurodubali-g innit style [smilie=icon_cry.gif]




Edit: 2010 - where does time go!!!!!
