    Just bought my first proper car (a '01 peugeot 206) on tuesday.
    I'm not planning to do much to it for now anyway but i've already got rims in mind for it. I'm looking at either OZ Racing F1 Evo Cups or OZ Racing Superturismo WRCs.
    Anyway, I just askin, will 16s go on without doing any work as i'm keeping the car standerd for the now. I know some 206's come with 16s so i think they should go on but just wanna double check. Mine is a '01 1.4LX.

    16's will go on no problem, sure i have 17's on my 206 and not a problem, but do make sure you get a spacer with the alloys. If you buy them new they will come with the space, it is just a small plastic/metal spacer.

    I would also invest in some lock nuts as well................

    Good luck............

    Here is a pic of my 206 with 17's

    like the kit. suits the shape. I think I may have seen your car around, or at least one with same color and kit. Any chance you live near coolock?
    did you find 17s affecting the steering much?

    i found the steering is a little bit lighter, but i have heard some people say their car feels a little heavier.......... you will also feel nearly every bump in the road...

    Yeah i do live near the coolock area, are you from those neck of the woods????:D

    yeah, i seen that car on the greencastle road i think a few times. and just, around in general. I think I might just get the 16s. the 17s make it look a little too high for my liking, unless i can stretch the budjet and lower it a bit too.

    try www.Body-Kit.co.uk they ship to ireland and are reputed to be good value.
    if your looking for a dealer IN ireland try the usual spot, k-mods/ pro-parts/ suped/ east coast alloys.
    I might change the car next year so i dont know wether to do much to it. I wanna tint the windows and i can get it done for next to nothing but for reasons im not going into i cant do it for a few months. have black angel eyes on order and black "lexus" lights too. I need a cd player bad though as the standrd stereo is a crappy tape deck. im going to keep it all black and lo-key for the near future.
