Hello mate
as you work for renno, could you possibly find any info on the new wheels
fitted to the Phase 2 model full fat 225.(see picture below)
as in part numbers and prices
even the missus loves them!
i'd ask the dealer but they dont even know what a phase 2 is!
cheers

phil surely if your thinking of going for the cup wheels in silver as in the picture the cup ones in anthracite would look 10 times better on your car,

Its personal taste i guess but i like the cup wheels, and even more so in silver!

Plus how many others will be the same! :D

The brochure states that the cup wheels are 8" rather than 7.5" and they are 1.5kg lighter. Is this correct or is it just Renault don't know what their specs are?

As they are on a full fat and not a cup, its anyones guess as to the width!

Alex

Not much cheaper than really!
i'm guessing they are the lightest wheel then if they are a 7.5J and not an 8J like the cup ones, which are 1.5kg lighter than standard 225 ones!

well apparently they are 8J. would need to confirm though by checking the size of the tyre on the car.

Well i have 235's on my 7.5J normal wheels, so you can't really go by that i think, however if they 235 tyres i would think they are 8J's

The renaultsport site says 7.5J but we've seen a lot of conflicting info. in the past!
cheers for all the info. and help!
much appreciated
