[clidge]

Go 17's look so much better!!!

 

[clidge]

i know mate but 17inch bugger performance dont they?????????

 

[Fletcher]

I'd go for 16'' inch wheels.

 

[clidge]

cheers mate thanks for that....anyone else now any facts on performance etc etc

17's for show

 

[CDMullins]

Surly and extra inch cant make that much difference

 

[edde]

Depends on the rolling size of them 15's are a a great compromise though 17's are more for show.

as vinnnyc said "17's for show" iam not keen on big rims on clios, 16" is just right for them...the lighter the better!

 

[Andyman]

Depends if you want it just for looks or want to enjoy driving it.

for trouble free fun driving go 15's. For the show thing and cruising about, 17's

To me 16's look too much like 15's plus the tyres are more expensive

 

[V1NNY]

16's is inbetween for looks and performance

i got the standard 182 cup 16's for road, then 15's for track days!

 

[clidge]

i am thinking of getting some 15 inch rimsas you say tyres are very dear on 16 inch and light 16 inch rims are very expensive!!! anyone got any goods links for sites that do cheap alloy wheels

 

[clidge]
