Are you talking about the normal R26 ones or the ones from the R26R?
The latter are Speedline Interlagos' and they also come with the Raider, Ange & Demon and Sport Auto Editions. The offset should be 66mm but they fit like a glove even on lowered ones.
The thing is these rims cost about 350,- GBP per piece and if you don't have any connections you'll only be able to buy used ones as you officially need to have one of the special editions to be able to purchase them new from Renault.

Yes the R26 wheels fit straight onto the Clio 197/200 offset the same CH68 as the 197 wheels, I have a set and I have test fitted them and drove with no problems std suspension std ride height.

What profile are those tyres in the last shot ? How bad does ride quality become on one of these cars......
And how small do the standard brakes look with 18’s on. Puny looking....
Na that's just a picture it's not my car mine had 235/35/18 tyres fitted but 225/40/18 should be the same.

I've the suspicion that the ones in question actually are 19" Speedline Turinis. Compare them to the following offer.

Wheels do possibly look bigger / tyres lower profile and the brakes smaller. Could be....

Now I'm convinced these are not the same rims. Look at the angle of the part where the spokes end and the center begins and compare them in the two photos you've posted and the ones in the link I posted above.
Normal R26 rims should be 8x18 Bebops and the other ones 8,25x19 Turinis.
Here are some 8x18 Bebops for comparison.

@turkie172: Do you by chance have more pics of that 197? I'm asking because there's a very distinctive part to be sure which rims these are and that is the outer part where the spokes end. The 18" ones are reducing inwards in a continous angle while the 19" have a ledge there but it's very difficult to see it in the pics here.
They are all the same rims 18" R26 wheels 5x108
My new spare wheel that has not been used
That's all I can do the R26 wheel is only 18" and must be a trick of the light if you think any of the pictures are a different wheel. The 197 wheel 17" is also known as the Be-Bop wheel that's why the 197 and the R26 wheel look so similar the R26 wheel does seem to have a smaller centre than the 197 wheel.
