i got a little bit of rubbing on my arch liners but thats because they have split and drop down a bit lower than normal.

fitment is spot on for mk5s as shown on my brothers GTI  :happy2:

Mike asked a few pages back how much these wheels weigh and the answer is 10.5kg without tyres. Not light, but bloody strong. I had a meeting with a kerb at around 60mph a little while back and still drove over 20 miles home without so much as a wobbly steering wheel. It was totally my fault. Combination of unfamiliar, unlit NSL road, another car tailgating and then an oncoming van not turning off his main beam and dazzling me. The result was a new wheel and tyre, but no other damage that I've noticed...



When I turned off later I saw the car behind was a Lotus Evora, so I was never gonna drop him!  :laugh:

would you sell me your wheels for the right price ?

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:

Hi Leigh,

Why's that? PM me when you have enough posts if you like.

Please note the Turini wheels are long ago sold to another forum member  :happy2:

What is the quality like on the rotiforms? I've heard mixed reviews about them being brittle or soft and easy to damage?

Those Advan's look loverly  :notworthy:

I looked at some of those before i got my neuspeeds, even in 19 they were only about 8.5kg IIRC.
