Picture of R4 with "Seral" Alloy Wheels - Anyone?

[DavidN]

Has anyone by chance a picture of an R4 with these wheels mounted?
Seral 5X13

I was offered a set but I'm not able to imagine how the car will look like with them mounted. :roll:

Thanks!

Not seen that pattern on a car over here, they look very nice in a Renault Boutique kind of way.

Found a few pics here:

Hi David,

waouh, they're cool I didn't know these kind of rims...

 

[DavidN]

Meanwhile I bought the set.
But I'm still not sure if they look good on my van.
I think I'll give it a try ...

They look supercool! I think the blue R4 pictured was at Thenay last year?

I don't remember that blue R4, although there was a different and heavily customised one in the same colour.

real cool set of wheels

I don't know whether I like 'em or not.

Even if I mounted 155's they look so - small - on my van. Almost like baby buggy wheels. :?
Plus I think I have to lower the front to gain a more harmonious look with the alloys.

(The other idea is to keep the height and mount the mud-tyres on the Seral wheels.)

I don't know, a difficult decision ...

 

[Lobster]

I like them although I do agree they look a bit small. F6s do have a lot of space between the top of the tyre and the arch though, I've thought that mine might look better lowered a touch tbh

They dont look bad David, But i prefer the originals, Looks more man like and ready for action,

Hi David, I'm not sure about these wheels on your van. They do suit the modded blue car but they look small on your van, have you fitted low-profile tyres? I have to agree with reggie, the original wheels look more business-like and in keeping with the spirit of a commercial vehicle, which the van is. The others do look like they came off a baby-buggy

 

[DavidN]

Thank you all for your thoughts! I'm still undecided what to do.
The more I look on the pics with the new wheels mounted the more I think it just doesn't look right.

And - No, I didn't mount low-profile-tyres. ops:
These are Continental EcoContact 155/70 (some kind of energy saver tyre).

As I like the look of the alloys a lot, I photoshopped the rims on my mud-tyres.

What do you think of this combination ... ?

 

[reggie]

David, It looks better, But its a van - Commercial, So the originals do it for me,
But its your tool, So go with what makes you happy,

 

[Lobster]

With the alloys and the chunky tyres it looks loads better! That gets my vote

 

[Cornish4]

Hi David, what a difference that makes, I'm warming to them now, but still prefer the original van wheels. But hey, whatever floats your boat my friend, and this is the great thing about the 4, it's a car you can mess about with, change modify and just have fun.

 

[DavidN]

Okay Guys,

I changed back to the original steel rims and leave it for now.
What to do with the alloys - I'm still undecided.

Thanks for all your thoughts, I really appreciate your honest comments!

David

Finally I made up my mind and mounted the mud-tyres with the Seral alloy wheels.
I like it that way. For now.

 

[Rutger-peer]

I think in combination with those mud-tires, this looks pretty awesome! Although your F6 looks a little "narrow" when it's so high on its wheels on the front. A friend of mine has an F6 too and his car is way lower on its wheels in the front.

Niiice...!
It looks really nice, let alone those rims are pretty rare.
Congrats.
