photo request: 17's on a 1*2

[extremeinferno]

is it possible for 17'2 be put on a 1*2 with out being 'chavy'

 

[lewisniven]

can look good, the 17" turnis look ok i some instances.

its not the chavvyness as such, its that the wheels simply look too big for the car, it doesnt look right imo.

plus is midly detrimental to the handling, not a great deal, but enough to notice.

just used the search button, not keen now doesnt look right like u say. and affects the handling so its a no lol

sorry mods please delete

I think they look better, and the handling is unlikely to be that different. Same as people fitting 15s.

before i had a 172, i had the 1.2 "expression" lol, I put chrome 17" wolfrace matis on it. Probably one of the cheapest chomes out there lol. But they did look good. I just wish i still had a pic

 

[extremeinferno]

[mullen]

As far as I can remember it was lowered on Sportlines - looks even better in the flesh and the owner said it made no difference to the comfort or handling, as long as the rubber is decent on them
