My valver is running on standard rims at the mow, just aint my thing so looking for something different.

Personally i think 15"s would be best, keep the ride just right :D

But anyone else think 17"s?

Anyone tryed or heard of people trying either :D

BTW im after a set, North West based :wink:

You'll not get many fans on here of 17's Valvers don't like 17's the lack of low end grunt takes its toll...

Stick with 15's for looks and performance

Note to everyone: Im brand new to the Clio valver scene as of Saturday, so please be gentle, lol :P

The standard 15"s on at the mow really handle well, that was my main intention to keep that size :D

Yeah heard its pricey to replace or repair anything :?

But then again in my younger years, ive a few Escort RS turbo vans (hence the name thats stuck)

They were a nightmare to keep running right, boost and fuel levels all over the place, gear boxes, boost leaks, you name it, pain in tharse :lol:

And they were the well built looked after ones :arrow:

15's dude!
As these fellas will tell you i had 17's on before and ou dont actually realise how much better it is with 15's! Handling, take off, and the overall ride is just better!

im with u mate, not a fan of valver rims at all, really dont like the turbines and dislike the ph2's even more, especially now i have no centre caps lol

I used to live in leyland mate, some nice roads to get to southport.

Really nice round the sea front now, millions have been spent in just the last few years alone :D

Had been neglected for years, we was under Lancashire, then it switched to Sefton, so all the tourism money the town was creating was all going into Bootle and Liverpool :roll:

Not now though, at last they are spending a few quid on the town :wink:

This is a bridge going over the main lake here, driving over this at night is something else, had the valver over this just before :D
