Spec me some alloys for a Peugeot 106 GTi

Rarely post in motors for fear of being tarred and feathered

Fancy getting myself a little 106 as a run around. Aiming for a diablo red GTi as standard as possible. When I was a 17 year old lad I had a 1.1 XN and it was a hoot to drive dispite being 50-60bhp(I think) and I drove a mates Saxo VTS the other day. Brought lots of good memories back!

Had a look around a couple GTis and they both had rubbish aftermarket alloys. I don't mind the standards either but I'd like some black/gunmetal wheels. Not sure either 5 spoke or mult spoke? What do you reckon?

I know very little about cars so what size/make/model should I go for? Money isn't too much of an issue but I'd like to keep it cheap if possible

EDIT: Might as well edit this in. I know Pugs are **** French cars made out of meccano and sticky tape lol!

I think it would look the bee's knees with some nice standard alloys.

InvaderGIR · 20 Jun 2010 at 19:09

Standard only in my opinion really.

Haha I know

Its just a nostagia kick I guess. I'm not a motor head tbh and never have been but when I had my XN I lusted after my mates Quicksilver and his black alloys

Get the standard ones powdercoated then

check out this thread for ideas.

CLICKY

can't go wrong with some ol' legrasss

A few suggestions if you're going for an OEM look...

15" Pug 306 Cyclones.

15" Ouragans ('baby Nimrods') from a Pug 406 - direct fit unlike the 206 GTI 16" Nimrods.

15" Saxo VTS wheels.

Speedline Challenge, Speedline 2118, Speedline 2020 or Compomotive MO 5 spoke if you want the motorsport look

InvaderGIR · 20 Jun 2010 at 21:48

You can of course go back in time...

15" 205 1.9 GTI alloys, in any colour, white works, as does standard.

Fancy some of them for my Clio

I like the VTS wheels actually, but would probably stick to the standards but get them powdercoated a little darker. Not much, just a little

InvaderGIR · 20 Jun 2010 at 22:07

Personally I'm liking the cyclones and the 205 ones...but then as far as a the 205 ones are concerned...I'm a whore...

See.

I really do not understand the following of 1.9 GTi wheels. I just don't find them "pretty" in anyway...

Am loving those "Ouragans" though. They might be a very real possibility for me if the Pug stays :cool:

Fr0dders · 20 Jun 2010 at 22:21

GTi-6 or VTS wheels for me.

Me neither, get some Speedlines.

InvaderGIR · 20 Jun 2010 at 22:28

Speedlines look turd.

After I saw how good the blue 106 looked on them, I had to get some for the Sax. :cool:

d_brennen · 20 Jun 2010 at 22:37

I'm a car noob though the 205 GTI wheels look good! Are they a direct fit to the 106?

Yip.

There's a lad on eBay who does exchange based refurbs with them - some of the 'options' he offers look very impressive!

InvaderGIR · 20 Jun 2010 at 22:42

Edit: Beaten to it.

Like that...although I've never been a massive fan of the Goodwood style myself, they do look good, but just not as good as a single colour.

White works well...better pic...
