i went from the std 16"s on my mk2 172 to 17"s, big mistake, handling is awful, ride is awful, performance is also effected somewhat. Back on 16"s now.

don't recognise it from here myself

i'm drooling too :)

yep only a 230 not a 255 as stated

you want to undo the Renault mount and strip it down and rebuild it with a Ford type support, otherwise it'll shake all over the place and sit miles away from the bumper. The Magnex system is far too heavy for the standard Renualt mount and pulls it to shreds.

goodyears definately, have had both, goodyear's wipe the floor with Toyos, grip, wear rate

does look nice.

lucky boy!

yeah they still seem to be going for £350-£400 easily

yep i'm after one, but don't want to pay over the rrp, game here say to fulfill their pre-orders will take until March, lol.

erm no, it looks awful.
