Final Decision

[SOOTY]

Guys, need some advice.

I have to decide today whether i get 18s or just stay with 17s. I was quite happy to stay with the 17s until i saw a 172 with 18s and i fell in love. Now will encounter problems with catching on 18s? will i have to mod the arches?

Or am i better off just staying with 17s?

18s will really affect the handleing and also the speed. it depends what you are after looks or speed. i would personally stay with 17s but its totally up to you!

also how much is it lowered by as this might help people tell you if it will catch

Get a bloody Saxo

17s!

17s are a compromise in terms of comfort - 18s will be worse and the tram-lining will be bad I bet.

save your dosh - over £500 even if you sell your 17s?

And why would i want a Saxo Rob? had one theyre sh*te.

And i have a 45 ml drop on 17 leggeras at the moment. Still tryin to decide on the wheels. Just have a problem with decisions cause many people are telling me that 18s will cause problems and screw up the handling.

18"s would be really expensive Id have thought - its bad enough buying tyres for 17"s!

Get 17s dont mess about.

Mike, your off work again?!!!

Im always at work, my job just permits me to browse the web all day!

Im just trying to find a set of wheels that look like they are 17s!. The ones i have do no justice for the size!. Seen a nice Blue clio in the Gallery with 17" TSW Pace. that looks nice.

not that expensive but go ask a wheel place and see wot they say! i got a good contact in northampton that deliver for 25 quid! cheapest wheel place i found!

u want number drop me a pm

They are quite nice but not my taste. Actually not sure what is my taste at the moment. I am fanceying the Kahn RS-Vs however they are £845 for 17s which is quite expensive. Although i payed that for my Leggs.

Get something lightweight, i.e Team Dynamics Pro Racer 1s. Theyre SuperL lookalikes but cheaper and lighter, and in black!

Get 16" Turinis!!

Best of everything. look good. strong wheel and light weight.

Definately wouldnt go down a size, thats the reason i want new ones cause my Leggeras just look sooooo small...
