Most wheels are better than cyclones  Although i think 15's look a bit small, the challengers suited your car nicely...

I would keep the clones personally over the speedlines, don't think they look right on ph2 and ph3 306's
Could just be me though, after all I like ph2 cars

yep, clone>speedlines on anything other than ph1 [although they do suit ben jay's car pretty well] but then again, cyclones are tiiiny, spesh with tho lower profile tyres.

Speedlines look best on the 205 where they belong 
Also IMO 15" wheels look too small and 17" wheels are on the large side for my liking, I think 16" wheels look perfect on the 306 but again that could just be me!

roll the arches then
front shouldn't be too bad as it is and and 5-10mm spacers on rear would be grand, what width tyres have you got on? 195 or 205?

This is a good point but the darker colours work well with the car colour
and anyway, who tries to look at peoples wheels when the car is moving

It won't and black wheels are a nightmare to keep clean and the tyres always look dirty!

Yeah that is for a stock Valeo DT clutch, Might be a bit more, was just going from memory,
Valeo are best bet unless you plan on being silly, the factory clutch was still going strong when I pulled my first engine on 140k and my current one doesn't slip with a TD04 so for the money I don't think you will do much better
