cheers guys those pics re awesome it certainly makes the car look alot better but what about handling? performance and comfort i.e does it make the ride harsh cheers

 

[dandan]

^^^ my handling was awsome but i did have H&R coilovers which helped on the comfort aswell
on performance i got 7.1sec 0-60 1/4 mile at fcs last year and on the gravel track we were on i think that was quit good

 

[clidge]

s that a good time mate on them circumstances is your car standard otherwise buddy? how much did those wheels cost you mate look awesome on the car

 

[dandan]

i paid 700 with rubber
only had BMC induction kit and magnex back box nothing major
if you do go for them wheels i have one in box brand new but no tyre you welcome to have a look if you want

[clidge]

cheers guys forthe pics all look really nice what wheels are they on the first shot dutty? anyone else got any comments on how they change the feel of the car dont want to kill acceleration etc etc

 

[Adamhodg]

Mine:
But im changing to 16's shortly as the tyres are costing me a fortune!

 

[clidge]

looks very nice mate rare colour that?

 

[Adamhodg]

Its Cyclone blue, fully converted to a 172 bodykit engine etc.
:approve:

 

[clidge]

bloody hell mate alot of time and effort gone into that looks very nice though...i really dont know what to do i know 17 rims would look rare better but i dont want to loose the acceleration of the car

 

[Ali]

17s look so good

 

[clidge]

mmmmmmmmm anyone else got any more pics...where is the cheapest place to get xl300 from boss bad boys they look mega!!!

 

[172 Dave]

17s! amphibious capability?

 

[clidge]

ha ha mte with my apex should look very well

 

[S22 JGS]

out of all those, the only one that looks good is the superleggera IMO. but then i could be biased as i run the ultraleggera in 16's

 

[Gumby]

Dandan what tyres are they? They almost look like rubber bands round the edge of those rims!!

 

[clidge]

i like them too buddy but i cant afford to get a set..unless you know a place for cheap he he

 

[Christopher]

never been a fan of the 17's. looks or handling

 

[clidge]

thanks for your comments mate each to their own i think 17 inch depending on the rim can defo change the look of the car but as i say dependent on the actual rim i really like the xl300 from boss they look really nice

 

[CHRISK172+]

These were my 17" MVK636 with fk coilovers fitted. They looked great on the 17's but just like the previous owner I have gone back to 16's as it damaged the arch liners, slowed the car down and affected the handling.
Do some searching on the forum as so many people have commented on these issues. I do see post saying how great 17's look, which i agree, but there are otherissues to consider...all depends if you are just after looks.

 

[clidge]

cheers for that mate looks really well that i do really want to make my car look better so yeah looks are important i cant really understand why it would affect performance really that much my mate has the mille wheels on his which are ultra heavy and his car is still very quick..could i remove the arch liners to stop from damage and is handling simply aweful with them on cheers guys thanks

I have 17" Enkei RPF1's, which claim a 6.8kg per wheel. Now in my opinion, that's very lightweight for 17"s.
