Big in the Renault world, too.

16"s on the ClioSports weren't they?
Don't remember any Megane's carrying them in 18x8's back then when I was on the fringe of the RS world(?)

You can get 18x8 for the Clio from K-Tec in Dorset. They look great.

Awesome  :smiley: Didn't realise that.
I always remember the cliosport.net lads adamant that 17" or bigger ruined the handling on 172's and 182's  :rolleye:

197/200 is a lot bigger innit...

Seeing those pics when I had my Clio made me want a set of Turinis one day. Never imagined at the time they'd be fitted to a VW, though!

Seeing that 5 with Turini's on brings back some memories!

I loved the turini's on my CS, such a simple wheel, they suit the clio's perfectly - looks pretty sweet on that 5 mind!
