Its a small hatchback, 17s will make it worse, 15s are the best, but ideally a bit wider than standard for better grip.

I think in most cases the best wheels will the whatever it came out of the factory with, certainly that will be the case in the performence versions of the cars eg the 172 and the Cup..

for cars that come with bicycle tyres there is obvious room for improvement. (unless you plan to drive in snow a lot)

 

[shanemc]

deffo standard size wheels and not too extreme of a drop-thou this depends on the roads you drive on,if there sh*t like the ones here in the rep. of ireland,then stock is prob the way to go

 

[Mike Wright]

Factory Fit is the best !
