Renault 5 wheel thread (pics & info)

[djinuk]

Ok , basically i find most the info on this site is regarding the runnings of r5s as opposed to the styling etc.

Im playing with idea of what wheels to put on a r5 , what works what dosent etc.

Im really liking the recent trend of small 13's, minilights, ats classics and the likes on the phase 1's however im not sure how well it will work with phase 2's.

There was also a time when ronal turbos seemed a common choice for the 5's and looked really classy.

Ive got turbines but im not sure whether or not to go for them or buy myself somthing else, possibly a set of starmags.

I thought maybe we could use this thread to discuss and post single pics of r5's with diffrent wheel choices.



BBs rm i think


Zender Turbo Alloys ( love these)

[Big Steve - Raider]

I love the Zender's but you'd struggle to get hold of a pair of them I think?

[Logg]

I almost bought a set of Zender's at Stonor park this year but in the end they where a lot of money and needed work. but they are a stunning Wheel.

[Brigsy]

The zender rims are lush, i was considering buying a set recently but the price was too much, on par with bbs splits!

[Logg]

oops I made a mistake it was almost a set of these wheels I almost bought.

[djinuk]

Anybody gota pic of an r5 on starmags ?, I presume 7 inch is really the limit on width for the lil renaults

[Logg]

I'm sure a member did a while ago might of been Winston.

Both wheels are mint, rm's go for a fortune now I was looking at some on eBay last nite, I still want a set of azec c wheels but I'm struggling to find!

[djinuk]

They look like Weller steelies to me but maybe wrong.

I think Rm's look awesome on a 5 as its not been done to death. Unfortunately they go for silly money even in poor condition as I wanted to do this myself!

[benj88]

They could be image wheels?

renault looks fantastic on all those rims . zender wheels look AMAZING and should have come fitted to the phase 2 as Standard lol, the vauxhall rims are unusual. However would do great for winter and the current situation of the roads durring such season. 11 Months of the year. Decent photos

The last picture those pirrelli p slots get my vote
