Many thanks for everyones input.

I'll probably take the plunge soon enough into the land of 17" rims. Should I suffer I'll sell em' on.

Seriously, if you have bought a 182 Cup, you will not enjoy the handling characteristics of 17s.

cup racers ride 15 inch . faster and better handling.

What makes you say that? You've owned a 182 Cup and used 17" rims? The result wasn't less than acceptable?
