I just changed from 16 to 17, seems more grippy at front, less at back.....

Maybe its just new tyres

I'm thinking of going back to my 16's.
Driving skills of my 17's compared to my 16's, are much different.
For my opinion not any good......

Had 14's 16's then 17's then back to 16's on old sport..

16's are the best compromise for looks and handling........

My 17"s look like 15"s with the fat arches



Good laugh in the sun though, handles like a dream

Keep lookin' about mate for different wheels no point sticking on the first one's u like coz u might come across a nicer set later on and regret not waiting... go take ya car to somwhere that sells wheels and they shud let u put them up against ya car so u kinda get an idea wot they'd look like in real life (if ya get me) ? Looks like you spent a lot of time and £££ on ya car so I'm sure waiting a bit for a set of rims that u really really like won't hurt ya just my opinion tho
