OMG! Put her back on 16’s today!





Well the sun was out, and i was bored sooo i decided to put my 16s on for a while and have a run about to se for any diff. (as some of you may have seen from my post in the pics forum ive been runnin 17s for a while now).

Anyway after unstickin the front passenger wheel which decided to rust itself to the car, then chisel off the spacer which was stuck, then f**k up two locking nuts and their adapters they were on!

WOW! when i put the 17s on i didnt really notice any big diff, mayb a tiny decelleration but no probs! (altho mayb psychologically i was tryin not to notice) She FLYS! no massive bangs on the suspension when goin over humps, much smoother ride, accelerated out of a corner (its was still good on 17s) but felt so goood on 16s, and its defo quicker on the initial pickup!

They look nowhere near as good, she looks silly on 16s again now, but im gonna keep em on for a while as its so good, i only went for a quick spin around the block but ended up goin for a 45min thrash! lol!

Also i cant put the 17s back on till ive got the lockin nuts back out the the bolt adapters that theyre stuck in! lol!
