Alloy Wheel Advice

[J_D]

Hi all,

I'm currently running the standard 18's and find the comfort to be spot on for the long commute I currently do.

I need a couple of back tyres as they are starting to crack, so I'm thinking about maybe upgrading to some nice aftermarket wheels rather than the standard 19" Peugeot wheels.

When looking I've found that 20" wheels are cheaper than 19" wheels, and I know the ride comfort will be destroyed but here's my plan...

How about 20" wheels on air suspension?

Or

19" wheels on comfortable coilovers (If they exist)

Feel free to share your experiences

Cheers

Jon

Hi Jon, I’ve gone for aftermarket 19” alloys just to give a different look to the car although I did like the original sortilege wheels, there’s some cracking deals on alloys at the moment, now as far as comfort goes I’ve not tried 18’s so can’t comment on 19’s yes it’s a little harsh but I don’t think overly so you can’t have a car go round corners on rails and feel like a limo but recently I’ve added a st of Bilstein B14 coilovers and I think they’re the perfect match far superior to the standard set up although the originals are made by Bilstein.
I were expecting even harsher ride than stock but far from it they’re super at soaking up those big bumps and the rebound is so quick they gain composure very well. I think they’re a bargain at around £1000 but I know someone who’s got a brand new set never been on a car who’ll take £750 if your interested.

Oh wow your wheels look like 20"s! And the stance is just right, how much were your wheels of you don't mind me asking?

PS Id be very interested in those coilovers thanks let me decide which setup I'd like 1st cheers

I paid around £750 for my alloys they do look like 20” because the spoke goes right to the edge of the wheel they were a bit of a bargain though
if you decide to go coilovers just message me and I’ll put you in touch with the guy

Just thought I'd mention I had my rims refurbished last week at Perfection Alloys in Leicester and they did an excellent job. (I don't get commission..).

Hi, that looks brilliant, I have the same wheels, mine are a bit tatty, might I ask how much they charge for a set of 4? Thank you

I had all four done by a company in York and was £72 Inc vat per wheel and the choice was amazing and took two days to get the work done also took four new tyres and they fitted them to the wheels and balanced at the same time at no extra charge..
