Thats not technically true... in a few months time and in some cases already you'll find 17" rubber alot cheaper that 16"...

yeah right get 16's without a doute, they still look good, handle better, cheaper rubber, and u dont lose has much performance, and they wont scrub, i got 16's on a corsa B and if anything it handles better and is faster...

I have 16's on my Corsa C (check garage) I notice the ride is harder than the standard rims, so i can amagine 17's make the ride even bumpier.

Also apparently handling and acceleration would be worse, i'd probably still get 17's if mine got nicked or something.

hey ppl...

I'm new here, Just wondering if any1 can give me advice on alloys for my Corsa C...

i have the standard 15" factory alloys, planning to get TSW PACEs but not sure whether to get 16" or 17". I wanna get 17s but I have been told that 17" alloys might affect the cars handling and comfort, is this true!? and if to wot extent?!
