U wont need to upgrade ur brake but they will look better if ya do. Tiny discs behing big wheels look lame.

U will lose accelaration but not to much. In theory u should get better handling due to the increased track width of ur tyres but u do sacrifice handling. I have millie miglia T12's in 17's wi an et45 and i find them pish compared to ma old 14's.

Quality of tyres play their part in handling to. Ur car will tramline alot more now as well. Mine always follows the camber of the road and its fooking horrible at times.

Get bigger discs just because ur old ones will look gay.

Red dot do good ones and for 6 quid a character u can have whatever u want engraved on the disc.

I got carnoisseur.

Simple question, as I am upgrading from 15" alloys to 17" alloys, do I need to upgrade the brakes or will they still be ok??

Also will I lose much acceleration/top speed/handling/and braking abilityas I will now have bigger wheels?? will I notice it, and is it a big deal??
