Cyclones are heavy and not wide enough. Lions are very heavy and made of cheese.These are the best OE wheels on a 306:  ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

If only you could get lighter cyclones in 16 inch. Would be tasty, lions don't really look like cyclones imo, thee lack the right curves ... seem a bit straight?________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I personally like bigger but as said cyclones do compliment the the shape of the 306 very well. If Pug had made 16" 'Clones then they would have made a winner! I think Lions are awesome but for the quality, they are extremely over priced..... Not that it would stop me! Edit: If I was sticking to 15", then Cyclones FTW!  ________________________________________ I Live for the 306 TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |

I don't like the fact that cyclones are on most 306 which didn't make the gti6 stand out from the rest of the 306 range, they look good.________________________________________ |

I did not like the Cyclones until I got a 306 with them on and now I love them! Maybe it is because my 306 is in Diablo Red, which really compliments the alloys and their silver colour; red paint, silver alloys and black tyres is a nice combination.So they are hard to balance? So can I really take them to Kwik Fit and get it done properly? Do the guys at Black Circles.com use garages that fit Cyclones well? Otherwise I will just have them done at Costco again. |

I like cyclones too, but just wish they had been made lighter and 7 inch wide (as already said) dunno why Peugeot didn't tbh, as for balancing never had a problem, I just take them to ATS round the corner and they do them spot on, down to the experience and training of the operator I suppose  ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6™ |
