Do 17's Look Good On A Clio?

[S22 JGS]

have been wondering whether to get 16's replaced, or go for some 17's on my 172.
Do people think the 17's look too big, and slightly "chavvy" on a clio?

17's for show
16's for a pro

like 'em both, chavy or not depends on style - got 17s

personally 16" graphite turinis are the best upgrade for a 2.0 and are so sought after that they are the ONLY ones that would add to saleability/value

am i right in thinkin that the handling of the car would be reduced with 17s?
ie, less good for fast road and track driving?

God damn turinis everywhere.... :S

Get some Rotas

damn - i really like the Kei Racing Force 10's in Gun Metal grey - but they only make them in 15 and 17's, 18's

I like 17's but would never put them on another car of mine due to the performance it throws away!!!

Been there done that but depends what you want out of your car!!!

I had the force 10's on my old hybrid mate.......I went on what they looke like in a catologue and in the wheel shop (17" version). In all honesty i fuckin despised em, not worth a look if smaller than 17's imo!!!

Get the 15's drop it 40-60mm and it'll look the nuts!

go backwards from 16's to 15's on a 172 - will look like a shopping trolley - no offence Al

PH1 172's were on 15's and they looked spot on.

 

[S22 JGS]

i have no intention to go smaller
i want 16's with a drop of F25 R15 i think - a bigger drop tends to start lookin chavvy i think. I just wanna improve the handling, and get different wheels, get a splitter on the front, and maybe side skirts and a rear vallence.

I'm gonna get a set of black or anthricite spoked 16's for mine as I hate the std 172 alloys.

17's Look good, not practical really though, doesnt handle particulary well. Go for 16's mate

:approve:

i have 17's and it handles great dont know what the comotion is about

 

[Addz]

i have 17's on my 1.2 and it handles better than with the 15's imo

 

[b3nje]

lowered enough and they look tits; mine was 60mm on 17's 205x40

 

[BLUNTY]

16s all the way mate and light ones like these 5kg each
