quote:Yeah I do - click here for pic's I was wanting 17's originally but found a guy sellin Speedline Alessio 2's so grabbed them. Glad I got 16's rather than 17's now coz the car is slow enough as it is. Plus it looks great lowered 60mm on the 16's :cool: Handles better than standard 13's or 14's, doesn't slow the car down that much (but there is a small difference) and looks better in proportion with the rest of the car. | |

Depends if u wanna put a subtle kit on it also. For the mix between the two, i'd say 16"s. | |

i got a set of rollerblades that dont fit me if u want the wheels off them. they only done about 20miles, plenty of tread left, one careful lady owner, good little runners, etc etc | |

Not if u get the right profile tyre. itll be slower on 17s. | |

hhmm, arnt 16" tyres expensive to cos they are rarer than the other sizes. also, will my car be a lot slower on 16s? | |
Marc |
posted on 1st Apr 03 at 16:55 |
the bigger u go the slower ul go, 17s will need arch mods no doubt. 16`s r a sensible choice. Wont handle as well with 17s. 15s r good 4 handlin but ur usually limited as to wot wheels available. + the bigger u go the more lower profile tyre ul need makin ur wheels mor vulnerable. | |

Lookin into gettin some alloys soon but dont know what size to get! My car is only a SXi 1.2 16V and my mate has got the same. he has 17s on and now its soooo slow my mums 1.0 micra could beat it in a race. he has to ride the clutch to get it to go and i dont really want this. |
