17s or 16s?

[mike-evans]

Guys amyone fitted 17s to their 172ff and left it at the standard ride height?

I want to get some new wheels and there is much more choice for 17s rather than 16s but I dont want to lower it etc....

Anyone fitted 17s?

If so how did it look...drive...any pics?

 

[drunknmunky]

tbh i think 17's will look silly, but its all dependent on the person

Tbh theres a few on here with 17s and look great like Karls one with megane wheels on and a iceburg one with matt black 17s multi spokes
all look nice dont no about standard ride height thou

15's

Thats the trouble with 17s i think it will look to HIGH....

Dont know what 16s to get...5 spoke, or mulitspkoe?

 

[Sam_Clio16v]

it will handle awful if you put 17's on withot lowering it on eibach sportlines or similar. mine was verging on dangerous before i lowered it!

Imho 17'' wheels look gash on 1*2's.

I'd go 15''or 16'' every-time

 

[mike-evans]

will 15s look to small?

I got the standard 5 spoke 16s on it at the mo and they look just right....

 

[Fletcher]

^^^^^Standard 18'' :S ??

 

[mike-evans]

edited 18s..............16s

Why not leave the standard wheels on then?

I had my 16'' anthracite turinis fitted today to my standard suspension mk2 172 and they look great much better the standard OE 5 spoke wheels

 

[mike-evans]

I do like the standard 16s, but i just want something different....hard to find a set Im really hooked on.....

I liked the anthracite turinis then the silver turinis then the anthracite 182 wheels..........now I dont know!!

15's look way to small imo, 16's or 17's if you slam it!

17s drive like pap, been there done that. Stick to 16s IMO.
