New wheel design?

What are "18” ‘Tibor’ matt black alloy wheels" Am I right in thinking they're r26.r/clio raider wheels?

These seem ridiculous!

Dam it just googled and came up with results elsewhere, and I've just found Neil has already spotted this elsewhere :lol:

Are you everywhere?!

And not the wheels I thought, they're these apparently

wait 18 inches under a Twingo aren't they gona scrape like a bitch ?

 

[singlespeed]

no, i'm not omni present

I was just having a peek on there and spotted it. The ride must be shocking, as I assume its a 35 section tyre. Heavy, harsh and probably expensive to get tyres for and even easier to curb the rims. All round stupidity imo.

Why on earth they do that instead of a 15" option is beyond me

I went on to the rs website to go to the forum and the front page was the twingo so thought I'd have a look and there it is.

What struck me as odd was it's categorised as driving & safety, whereas the other wheel options are listed as exterior equipment so I assume it's a mistake. That and the stud pattern for the megane and clio don't match the Twingo

miss print may be?

Funny feeling that's a mistake, no way would a set of 18s fit comfortably under a Twingo... Plus they're 5 stud too

I hope its a missprint. But, theres certainly wheels and tyres which will fit. Although it must be looks over performance with the choice of quality tyres avaliable in that size.

Yep worked that out above

Shame, as £200 for the upgrade would be a snip.

I think some cars look a bit stupid/ strange on too big rims. Almost like it is just the rim.

Personally 17" looks just fine on a car this size. I'm on 16" but tempted to switch to 15".

18" is far too big for the car.
