Light Wheels

[Tom]

Hi Guys,

What wheels would people recommend for weight reduction? My budget is £800 and I don't want TD 1.2 Prorace wheels because every Focus, Corsa, Saxo Fiesta and what-not have them.

Are BBS light, or just pricey because they're BBS?

I also had trouble finding nice BBS to fit a 197... Or am I mistaken/looking in the wrong places.

Thanks in advance!

OZ Ultraleggeras will do the trick. A few of us have them on our Clios and they look the biz!

Think they might come in a a touch over £800 though.

You want them in 17" x 8", ET55, 5 x 108 and centre bore of 60.1

got mine for £840 from Revolution performance motorstore,no need for spacers if you get 17x8.they fill the arches spot on:thumbup:

Looks great noddie nice to see a change from the speedlines, I personally don't like speedlines, the standard 5 spokes are prettyer and lighter weight imo. As for light weight wheels, rota are a decent price and come in nice colours?

anyone got any pics with a 5 spoke wheel 17" ?

Not a 5 spoker but 6 spoker:

I think I'm in love. I have an Albi blue 197... I want those wheels! Are they light? What are they? Speedline ...?

Cheers guys!

Can anyone clear up my BBS query?

BBS do make the fitment for the clio. I looked at a set, but theyre not light weight, just there reputation i think makes them pricey.

TE37s look good on any car...FACT!

Im really liking the OZ leggenda's but they dont do renault fitment it seems

Another choice is OZ Altraleggeras but they are just over £1k for the set.

They also seem to look much smaller than they are, 17" look like they're about 15"!!

Yeah they do but I believe they are considerably lighter than the Ultras?

 

[BenW]

Yea, think you're right

Agreed, they look so good. Want.

 

[marshall]

Well they suit the 500 perfectly..

I see, to remember these come in the right size/width/offset. But they are over £1000 wheels only, and there is generally a 8 week lead time.
