#1: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: lee1985, Location: North WestPosted: Fri Mar 08, 2013 9:42 pm ---- Want to know whether you think these (the exact style and colour) would be a good replacement for my gun metal grey 17" vortex wheels that I currently have which are only DIY painted and flaking. It was a toss between new alloys altogether or keeping the Vortex but getting them powdercoated. I have put a picture below of the ones I want your verdict on. They are graphite coloured multi spoke OZ racing alloys. They might not be the nicest/cheapest alloys around but as long as they make the car look better then its all gravy. Please do not consider prices in your decision, I only want to know which you think will look better on my car. These:

and for comparison, my CURRENT car/alloys is here:

Please can I have many opinions please not just one.
Thank you.

The vortex wheels is the ugliest wheel to come out of the Peugeot factory. But I'd want to be ordering special offsets in order to making this work, especially if I was paying £1300 for a set. The superturismos would have to be as far out into the arches to make them work with the perfect tyre to wheel combination.
By the way, why hasn't the kit been removed yet..?

#4: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: benjsy, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 1:51 am ---- I think your vortex alloys are sexy as it it
#5: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the bette Author: Barking, Location: sarcasm-in-shedloadsPosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 2:04 am ---- Vortex (Atlantis) wins. Every time
#6: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: Zack, Location: NorthamptonshirePosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 3:28 am ---- Vortex
#7: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 4:09 am ---- It's one of those areas where everyone will disagree. But for me the wider spoke of the vortex looks better. I am not to keen on tiny spokes on an alloy. I do like to see the blue 206 with a coloured alloy though. Maybe go for a colour change? Something new and original to make it stand out? Yellow maybe? Change your calipers to blue. Yellow badges to match the alloys? Just a thought.....
#8: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 4:27 am ---- I'm personally not a fan of the standard 180 wheels (vortex) I used to like them years ago but every 206 you saw had them on so i grew to dislike them so any change is a good change in my opinion and you have chosen well lol love the multi spoke.
#9: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 4:29 am ---- The wheels are the last thing to worry about on that car. I'd just get the standard wheels refurbished.
#10: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 5:56 am ---- I like them mate. The colour looks spot on for an Aegean 206! Think they would look good!
#11: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 8:22 am ---- Mutli spokes get my vote - purely because being an optical illusion, the wheels look bigger than they in fact are.
But I too would go pro race as they are a better (and lighter) wheel.
That's my 10 cents anyway...
#12: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: tsotd, Location: kentPosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 8:48 am ---- refurb the vortex, less is more for me
#13: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 2:08 pm ---- Both looks great to be honest,I always loved the Vortex

Where did you get that from..? OZ Racing will trump Team Dynamics in every single aspect of wheels all day everyday. As good as TD's are, they will never be on the same level as OZ wheels.
#15: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: sicskate, Location: Margate, KentPosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 2:43 pm ---- We all know that the td 1.2 are light, but the oz will be lighter than a fart!
Where as the vortex (whatever they are) are as heavy as a mother f****r!
I personally would rather a set of oz super leggs
#16: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 4:18 pm ---- I dont understand why weight is a big deal. Its not a track car so I dont see why that should be a hinder in getting any alloys just for the road? Unless you really are feeling skimpy with fuel costs.

Unsprung mass DJ. I had a set of C5 wheels on my 306 (which weighed half as much as my standard Cyclone's did) and the difference in turn in and feedback was very noticeable. Once I refitted the Cyclones the steering felt noticeably heavier!
#18: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: sam-c, Location: Uni: Kent Home: ScunthorpePosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 6:23 pm ---- I'd go for the Oz's for the reasons mentioned by Uz and Dj although I would also consider the pro race 1.2s as somebody else said simply due to price and much easier to get hold of in the correct fitment etc
#19: Re: Need people's honest opinions please, the more the better! Author: dafatkid88, Posted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 11:20 pm ---- I was never a fan of my vortex's tbh.. maybe its because they were chrome and not a standard colour but i hated them in the end... sold them really stupidly cheap too!! lol
Heres my Fox alloys that are very similar to the OZ ones youre looking at.. hope they give you some insight!

Alrighty, makes sense! If I was going to get a reply to my message I would have been hoping for something like that!
