#2: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 11:28 am ---- Looks like every other 206 on nimrods.
#3: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: AshH, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 11:33 am ---- Makes it look like a 1.4Sport TBH :/
#4: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 11:34 am ---- Still think the vortex look better, I feel the vortex's outline the fact its a 180 in my opinion.
#5: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 11:41 am ---- looks good but doesnt look like a 180 the wheels really make the 180 iv toyed with a few different wheels in the time iv had mine but it loses the look without the vortexs in my opinion
#6: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: D4NTP, Location: Not Leeds or its surrounding areas!Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 11:55 am ---- Looks like someones spent a bit of money on a normal GTI

#8: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 12:32 pm ---- looks good IMO, although it just looks like every other 206 on oem wheels
#9: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 12:38 pm ---- Turns the 180 into a bit of a sleeper.

+1
The smaller wheel size highlights the 283mm brakes, like big boobs in a small bra.
Nimrods have done a reverse sleeper effect on mine, I've had a few people at garages ask if my car is a GTi.. I say yes just to see how long it takes them to realise no 2ltr petrol would have drums on the back

Still faster than the average 138. Would ever so slightly help accaleration as well.
#15: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:35 pm ---- Vortex are Number ONE wheels for GTi180
#16: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:43 pm ---- The ride should be better too. Are they lighter?
#17: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: Dan-, Location: BiggleswadePosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:51 pm ---- they were only brought for winter wheels to keep my vortexs in mint condition, but i think i like them for now :), and yeah the ride feels massively different cant feel every stone on the road now, i think there about 5gk lighter they feel alot less
#18: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:54 pm ---- I prefer the nimrods, looks better in my opoinion
#19: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 3:01 pm ---- For winter wheels they're ok, but I'd put the vortexes back on ASAP other wise it just don't look right.
#20: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 3:07 pm ---- The MPG will get better for you now you know

#22: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 4:22 pm ---- Think it looks good mate, as you said lower the back and its sorted
#23: Re: What do you think off these on my 180 Author: Bilco9, Location: Who's askingPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 5:12 pm ---- Surely the car wont be better?? I was always lead to believe that when a car is set up in the manufacture process, the gear ratios and all round set up is designed around the wheel size. changing wheel sizes massive reduces a cars performance?! I might be wrong (more of a question than a comment before you all start)

at the relatively slow speeds a 206 will be doing, changing from vortex to nimrods wont make much difference, if it was a lambo or an aston martin which are true high performance cars, then it would matter

Well the 17" tires are wider than the 16",which mean more fraction with road,which mean more power to move them and resist the fraction,and power needs more fuel,so the MPG will get better for sure

But if the rolling radius is reduced your use that fuel saving up when cruising.
