17’s Kill Valvers!

[_Tom]

Put my 15s back on my valver this weekend as it was sunny and i was bored!

I can confirm that 15s make it so much quicker on acceleration. It seems to rev up so much quicker from low revs.

As for the handling, it makes it so much more responsive and direct! But it doesnt grip aswell at speed i must say.

Im seriously looking into selling my 17s now and gettin some 15s or 16s with low pros!

Feels like my car has an extra 10bhp!

Standard Wheels all the way, hehe.

Yup, ive got standards - 17s looked sweet but the handling awas absoloutely awful - it felt like a brand new car now! Also, coz one of the wheels were buckled - it bent me drive shaft! So glad i aint using em anymore!

15s all the way! big difference i found!

13" steelies all the way

they are the ultimate in bling i tell thee.

(im just waiting for motorworld to get their arse in gear about my 15s i want)

You cant get 13" on the valver... it will hit the calipers, but you can get 14"

Here you go

bloody hell not much clearance on them buggers is there, ive got an RT, so explains all, but u know that steelies are the way forward, your just all in denial!!!

i feeling the way fordward will be 15s too!!

16s with 205/40/16 is the best option !! Agree 17s do kill the valver, but they look sooooo sweet that i dont care

16s do fine on a decent drop! As in, ive got 16" mk 2 172 wheels on mine. but droppin it 60mm soon! That should fill the arches!

IMO big wheels look pants, decked on 15s is the way forward.

 

[Alan]

Was gonna drop mine 60mm on the standard dynamique 15s but i thought itd look p*ss?

The thing with 15s is they look cheap. Other than Speedlines - there aint really many 15s i think look good on a valver other than turbines!

I cant get over speed bumps with 15s either!

 

[cliomk2]

17s look sweet but killed my speed and acceleration.

15s look crap but keep it speeded up

ITs hard to choose

 

[Tom_16v]

16"s are the way to go!

Looks a lot better than the 15"s and you hardly notice the difference if you run 195/45s or similar......

 

[mark16v]

mines on standard phase 2 15" alloys and its decked 60mm , and looks the nuts
