Ive got 16" 5 spoke 172 wheels on my 1.2. I havent noticed any performance loss.

A mate in work has the same car but with the 15" Dynamique wheels on, and mine does look better.

The 172 wheels offset is slightly different to 1.2 wheels, so you would need 5mm spacers on the back wheels.

Has it been lowered in that pic mate if so how much?

Defo go for mk2 172 alloys. Looks a lot better. Got a set if you want them. Bit kerbed though and needs 2 new tyres.
