Wheels To Suit My Car?

[Jer309GTi 3]

I can't decide on which wheels would look best so thought I might as well make the 1st 405mi16.com forum poll

 

Can I get some opinions on which wheels would suit my car best please. They will be going on my cherry red ph1, which will be lowered no more than 30mm and standard body-wise other than a ph2 rear spoiler:

 

1) These:

 

 

2) Or these, but in black:

Thanks for your input Ryan

 

I don't know why the poll isn't working, looks ok from my end but as I started the poll I can't view it the same as you can

Don't work for me either. I personally don't like the look of 17" on a 405, in fact, the second lot look positively stupid in my eye. When I get some they will be 16". I quite like the pug nimrods, maybe you could get them sprayed gun metal? Also like the 307 wheels from the xsi and upwards - these

I voted for the Pug alloys. They are 5 spoke and made by Peugeot therefore I feel they are close to the originals yet still a modification. Actually I'd love to have the original Mi16 alloys but in 17 inch instead of 15 inch.

2nd ones for me too, 1st are just trying to be something, not sure what, chav/motorsporty but me just not keen. 2nd ones keep it sort of original Pug too.

My mate Will kindly photoshoppped a pic from off here to see what my car will look like. It was only a quick attempt just to get the idea of what it should be like, and I have to say I think it looks spot on :

 

 

Definately going with this I think

I think that the standard wheels look great, but i voted for the gti 180 rims. think they look stunning on a 405.

[Baz 421]

75% of votes for the pug 5 spokes!

[welshpug 1,622]

having seen a White T16 at pugfest last year with a set of gunmetal ones I have to say the 206 180 wheels, the others would have to be accompanied by a motrosport inspired look to the rest of it, like the red/white 405 tc replica that I saw today as well.

Apparently the same wheels that are on the 307 are narrower, which could be useful so that you don't have to fork out for crazy width tyres. Probably be lighter too.

[Borntobewild 1]

Deffinitly the second set of rims!

The challengers, they look great in black on a 405!

indeed they are narrower, but 195 width 17"s are actually very rare and more expensive than the standard 205 width, which will dissapear into the arch of a 405 anyway!

[Jer309GTi 3]

I was going to use 205/40-17s, they have the same rolling radius as a standard tyre and are only 10mm wider so there shouldn't be any tyre scrubbage should there?

Is Challenger the name of the 206 17s then?

[KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars]

I wonder what the offset is.

[JOHN89MI16 0]

The pug wheels a by far the best. I have a set of 17 inch wolfrace wheels on my car and that is only because i couldnt find a set of those exact wheels for the right price at the time.

307 CC Challenger - 6.5J17 ET31, removable center cap

206 RC Atlantis - 7J17 ET28, no center cap, it's a part of the wheel

[KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars]

Ahh ok thanks, the 206 wheels it is then!

[Jer309GTi 3]

The standard Mi wheel is ET29 isn't it?

[KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars]

Yes.
