306 ON STEEL WHEELS?? PIC... ADVICE???

[gumball3000]

I want to make my 306 look like more of a "track slag" and someone on here gave me the idea of steelies. Has anyone got any pics of 306's with steelies on, and also does anyone know what ones are the best to get etc???

Any help appreciated!!

Thanks.

Oh just seen Rallye steelies!!! They are sexy but seem to be fair amount of money too

406 steelies fit too, ran 406 steels on mine during winter have some pics in my project thread iirc

[samass]

Check my thread, got 14 inch white ones on, looks gash as it wont lowered, but gives you an idea...

siad (i think thats his name) is running steelies and his looks most lush. i wouldnt want to pay more than £10 per rim (gigidy) and imo always look better in white.

406 steelies are 15" so are the best choice IMO if that is what you want to do, the member "seid" from portugal has white steelies on his as Kingy says, his project thread is here if you want to have a look - <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1686" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1686</a><!-- l -->

IMO white is all well and good but a nightmare to keep clean, personally I think that they look OK as a second set of wheels for over winter but that could just be my taste

If you going for a track slag go for some 15" C5 steel look wheels as they are made of alloy and way f*ck all.
Or go for some 16" steelies which look awesome

That's what I was going to suggest. There are two types, one is a magnesium alloy and the other is another alloy which isn't quite as light I believe. Will try to find out how to tell which is the magnesium one.

Ok i will look into 406 steelies, as they look mad on seid's car!! They will definatly be white, and i will keep them on probably till the end of this year, and save for some nice alloys then keep the steelies as winter wheels after that. I like the idea of the C5 wheels to but i would expect them to be more expensive as 406 ones.

Thanks for the help so far people Let me know if anyone heard of any cheap steelies in southampton area

[gumball3000]

Just been offered some 406 16" steelies?? Any good??

[Scott]

Go for it. Just bear in mind 16 inch tyres can be more expensive, but they are the perfect size for a 306 imo.

Seid doesn't have 406 ones iirc. The 406 ones have triangular holes instead of circular



15" 406 steel

I have xsara 15" wheels, but if you buy, buy of citroen c5 mk1, the weight are awesome less than a rallye 14" :O steelies in 15" are rare in Portugal, is that why i have to buy the xsara :/

Good luck

Because "Sent by Tapatalk" is too mainstream!

[Pete]

These are 406 coupe spares IIRC, 16x7J. Look awesome!



*Not a 306 though, but it'll do!

[mark_airey]

^^ those do look pretty epic Pete

[Kezzieboy]

Car looks shit

Cheers Matt

wow. do this. with a nice drop.

edit. in white.

[gumball3000]

wow those wheels look mad.. I had a look at some steelies tonight, but they were 15" with massive profile tyres lol. The hunt is still on lol. Must be able to find someone with some better wheels to suit my car that want to swap lol

[kingy]

are you stupid?????
406 steelies.
do it mate.

[kentiiboii]

My spare wheel thats specially for flat seated nuts no holes my opinion full set of these in white would look epic

[Dum-Dum]

The 16" steels are epic


Apparently the C5 ones are 4.7kg each. For reference a cyclone is 8kg and a laser is 10.2kg

[kingy]

^^ shit chris. thats anal.

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah, you gotta know these things though.


Does anyone know the part number for C5 steels to save me registering for citroen service box as my peugeot password dosent work.

[gumball3000]

Well my mate has just offered to swap my wheels for his recently re furbed gun-metal grey cyclones with all good rubber, as he has just fitted Bremob's to his GTI-6 so he needs spacers or something and looking for another set of cyclones to re-furb. This mine will look alot better with grey cyclones on it for now.
