depends on the size, width and condition. less than 7'' they'll go for 200 if you wait long enough, over 7'' and they can go up to 500 depending on what cups they are etc. i suppose you could take them to a machine shop to have the centre bore enlarged to 60.1 mm if you wanted to, it'd be pretty unique.
look into it further, i'm sure you can get ats cups with a centre bore larger than 60,1. i looked at them years ago out of curiosity

no, they will not go on with a hammer ^^^^ i'm sorry but don't listen to luke. 2mm of metal doesn't just bend and shave itself off with a hammer, that's called destroying the rims completely and will warp them. i'm not sure what 'non sport' wheels you got luke but i already said that EVERY 4 stud renault car / wheel is 60.1 mm in it's centre bore
I'll find out the whole details on the wheels tomorrow. won't be hammering anything on a car I'm giving 4000 for though lol. I usually do 99% of all work on my cars myself but think this will go to garage if anything goes wrong. I've always got spare bolts hahah

have you done the timing on any engines before steve? the timing belt on this engine is simple .... just take the bloody belt of and put the new one on, no locking tools required. single overhead cam and all that! nothing fancy whatsoever. i wouldn't bother my arse paying 350-600 (600 renault dealership obviously) on the timing belt! make sure you get a new waterpump as well as all the tensioners for the timing belt, whilst there you'll want to do the aux belt and tensioner + idler pulley! easy peasy, not just because i'm a mechanic .... just easy peasy in general. too much scare mongering from arseholes who are greedy to take your money who'd want to make you believe you need fancy tooling!
Steve, when you've sourced and 'hammered' on (or not, if you have the good sense to take the above advice) your new wheels, what do you intend to do with the Noxianes ? Was in a multi-storey the other day without me glasses... i now have a driver-side rear alloy that resembles summat a Roman would put on a fighting chariot...
picking it up tomorrow !!!! can't wait. drives lovely. The speed of the thing shocked me. It's no supercar but at same time I wasn't quite expecting it to be as nippy as it is. love it. roll on 2 tomorrow
in regards to the wheels I've decided to leave them. and wait for a bit first. and own the car for a bit.
project thread tomorrow night if I'm not out enjoying the car

glad you're enjoying it steve. it's no word of a lie, the gt's and the 133's aren't supercars. the 133 is the all round better car and definitely looks better but your GT can and will put a different smile on your face, especially if you like tweaking with cars. set of clio 182 injectors / better breathing / better exhaust + a remap and you can be at 125-130 bhp very easily. megane injectors, bigger fuel pump and the same breathing ... you can get to 150 before you'll need a new turbo (subaru td04?) however that's just possibilities and with ebay ... that's really not an expensive goal!
enjoy your honeymoon period! i'll give it a week before you can't sleep because you've started planning modifications in your head .... we've all been there, and told ourselves we'd keep it standard can't really say that loving your car and wanting to spend money on her is a bad thing though

What was said about the belts?
It's been like that for years now. Got all the tactics down to a T haha the best one was when I swapped a car back I used to own. she was adamant I wasn't getting it, going mad. agreed I wouldn't get it. rocked up at hers in it the next day haha. didn't speak to me for a week
