Which wheels should I buy????

[mcmurr4y]

I'm going to be changing my wheels after xmas to something a bit more respectable and want some advice.

I've looked at hundreds of different styles but have decided on either of these 2:

Bellini Bellas in 18":



or

Kei force 10's in 18"





I know they're pretty similar but I'm thinking about choosing a darker colour like this to contrast with the red:




What do you think? Any other wheels you think would look well?

cheers,
ryan

It's all down to personal choice when you try and pick some wheels. There's a good gallery at this site:

More wheels than you can shake a stick at!

the kei in high power silver are stunning the photo does them no justice they are gorgeous they'd be my choice out of the three

[mcmurr4y]

The thing is the bellas are basically the same wheel as the kei force 10's but come in at £100 cheaper.

They look amazing in high power silver as well. Been quoted £650 for the bella's with 225/40/18 tyres fitted. Probly wont get much cheaper than that.

just my opnion... but i dislike wheels that have have more bolt holes that required...

but i would go for the round ones... the square ones just dont do the job.

I prefer the darker ones personally like, id shop around to, i found plenty of 18's for around £500 and im sure someone on here paid about £550 for 19's (think it was the lad whos jsut lowered it 45mm

[mcmurr4y]

just an after thought there was a set going for sale on the forms over here cheap too they were black with a gloss red outline looked really nice would match in well with your can cant mind the form but mite be an idea for you

Just seen this slightly crappy site: https://www.alloywheels.com/ stick your car details in the top left and see the alloys on your Megane, albeit a dubious white one.

Tried this site before. Doesnt really give you any idea how they would really look on my car.

Ive found these and emailed the place looking a price. They look amazing I.M.O.

Despite this site looking abit shoddy there a decent place to get wheels from. mine came well packaged and quickly. my wheels have gone up in price on there like by £150.

random post yet again
on reallymeansounds
18" all in 200 quid shiny chrome dunno if it would be you take or not but worth a look into

Yeah seen these ages ago, they looked terrible IMO and had this massive pointy centre cap.

just looked over the the above post on the site for wheels
giving advice for the roads over here a 35 or 40 tyre aint the best it will slide out on rainny days.
i'd to change bk to my standard wheels for winter i'd on a 40 tyre on 17" was a bit scray on the handling at times given but also a fatter tyre fills the arch and give a better ride comfront if intended to lower the car in the future

Not too clued up on tyres but when i was in looking at wheels I told the guy I'd be lowering the car 45mm and he said 225/40 would be what I should be going for.

225 40 18 are exactly what you should be going for, same size as the megane sports, you get some decent tyres on and there'll be no complaints, and if you go for cheapy tyres just take it easy round bends/roundabouts in the wet.

A second hand set of 18's has came up cheap and thinking of goin for them iof their in good enough condition but they have 215/35/18 tyres on them? Anyone care to give me some advice on these tyres?

Those tyres are way too small in outer diameter, will look well odd in the arches IMO. I'd definitely not recommend that size.

But if the price is right, maybe you could keep the rims and sell on the tyres to someone with a slightly older/smaller car that the tyre size is more suitable for (e.g. Megane Mk1, Golf Mk3, Peugeot 306, older gen. Astras etc etc)?

cheers mate but they're not cheap enough to buy new tyres as well. could buy them new for the same money. Thanks for the help though.

215 35 Will defos look tiny, and ride quality will be terrible
