    New Alloy Wheels

    Bought some new wheels at the weekend

    I used to have 17" OZ Super Turismos on the car... with 205/40/17's on.... Elastic Band Tyres.




    The ride was a bit harsh for my liking... so i've bought some 16" wheels.


    Clio 182 wheels



    With 205/45/16 - Michelin Exalto Tyres Same as the Clio Cups

    I think they look really smart and the ride quality is much much better!!!!

    Nope... they are 40's... Its because in that photo, it had falken tyres on.... Falkens appear to have a stretched sidewall.... I've got Toyos on them 17" wheels now... and they look much better... bigger, beefier tyre!

    That is sexy. Super T's, however, aren't.
