Renault Kiger with 17-inch Alloys
The images show a silver-coloured Renault Kiger sporting silver-finished 5-spoke alloy wheels. These are chunky 17-inchers which makes the car stand out. The rotors inside are finished in red paint which accentuates the sporty element of the compact SUV. The large wheel arches are filled nicely with these upsized tyres.
