Wheel sizes 16s or 17s whats best?

[Jon.L]

I have a 172 ph1 sport and the 15s looks far to small should i by a set of 17s inch supperlegga oz's or stick to 16 inch speedline turinis? any ideas?

no mate, the bell end that i bought my car from had some ghetto 17" chrome bad boys on it and they were uber gash, luckily he kept the originals so they went striaght back on when i got home, looks good that way but if i was to change id follow the crowd and get grey turinis or superleguras or whatever they are called

I think that sticking to a 15 or 16 is the best option as most people will agree. Why not try a 15 or 16 ultraleggra, lots of people have gone down the turini route

yer i was thinkin that i like the wheels on it already but they to thin and to small ultralegga's r so expensive n i dnt wanan spend alota money on 16s n think they look so small. im stuck lol. although i am told 16s will handle better as they are set up for them and 17s will give a dodge ride?

16's

15's are even better but look worse

 

[Beef-Mc]

Get 16" Oz F1's quite rare but retains the original look and makes the car look much better.

16s definately - best blend between looks and performance

 

[Jon.L]

yer i want 16 inch of what i have on the car already well hard to find any1 know of any goin? or where to find a set?

eBay is your friend

 

[Jon.L]

long chances of them cumin up i been lookin for ages turninis r rare as on there leta known 16 inch oz f1s!

 

[Fred@BTM]

well the "experts" on here will say 15's are best, and i 100% agree with them

but i do know of a 1.2 16v clio with a massive 75bhp that overtook a few 172's a few years back round brands hatch and that had 17's on it

the driver was obviously related to "the stig"

 

[Jon.L]

lol well i like em but 15s way to small and they hide well in the arches at the front! from cetain angles they ok but if i go up to 16s i dnt tink it will change to much!?

anyone wanna swap rims wid me?!

 

[Martin_172]

lower it a bit and stick some spacers on it and that'll sort your looks problem! stick with 15's they are the future!

 

[Jon.L]

what makes you so sure about the future!? lowering tho koni adj is the only way id go and thats expensive! i had p.i springs on me old corsa dropped 50mm bumpy and im not up for that again!
