17's Off, 15's On!

[Radtoy]

My white 17's were taking a bashing due to the nasty salt so i got some 15's off eBay (mim venezia simple 5 spoke) to use during the winter

the difference in handling is great, also it doesnt tramline anymore. It also accelerates faster. I've noticed this change much more than when i put the 17's on, weird! (i've also put 195/50 on instead of 185/55)

next spring i might sell both sets and get a good compromise (16").....Why didnt i listen to the general concensous on here?! Doh!

[breezer]

yeah i want some 16s!!

i saw some nice 15/16s today on a modded punto, alloys were tasty! just got to find them. will post pic when i find

off alloy hunting now.....

[breezer]

found them! :)

i think thats them. you may not think they look that good, but i saw them up close and i want them.

<I thought I could get past the swearing filter - what a sad muppet I am eh?> ME SIDEWAYS!!! £791 for 16" of the above alloys with tyres......

better get saving :bookworm:

[Radtoy]

my bros got them in 17 inch on his golf mk2 gti. they go straight on a yaris cus i put them on mine to see what they looked like while he was on holiday!

[Chuck04]

haha sneaky my mates got a simular design in 15s on his punto, not to bad actually, think thed look nice in 16s, personally not my style tho

[Scottish_SR]

Yeah the change from 14's to 17's really screwed the acceleration mine! But looks 100 times better.

Most the Mille Miglia range look very good in my opinion breezer. I was going for a set of spyders for mine but they didnt have them in stock turned out ok in the end though!

[breezer]

well £791 for alloys and tyres doesnt put me off!! theyre well nice! my gf offered to help out too :D

[Seab]

i have just put my CTS alloys on apart from a bit of rubbing because the profile is a bit big. they look mint!

15" are the way forward.

2 right!

15" are the way forward.

Have to agree, don’t mess with Mr T’s original set up, the YTS 15’s are good enough.

They are the best wheel/tyre combination I’ve had on a car so I will be leaving well alone and keeping my money under the mattress!

[earpl]

nah standard yts rims are a bit confused when it comes to sexual oreantation. but after market 15" rims..... THE FUTURE!

I haven't noticed any difference with my 16's to bbe honest. Though I would agree that lightweight 15's would be better. However, they are more expensive - mine were only £464 for wheels and tyres.

I agree, also. There's a noticable difference between the OZ's that were on the car and the Rota's i have now, then you multiply the difference in weight, by 4 and there's a BIG difference. That then gets transfered to the road......

incase anyone was wondering what they look like on CTS wheels lol

They look nice

(what size?)

[Crisis]

I was going to get those wheels. I quite like that sort of look 5 -> 7 spokes, not to blocky, nothing to fancy on the finish. Just big chunky spokes.

Im an Oz/Wolfrace kinda alloy person all the way. Lighter.

Also Im all for 16z, for that comprimise btw look ands speed.

[jaxx]

those rolla wheels look sweet!

Radtoy, keep ya 17's for the summer and 15's for the winter itll look loads better and keep it sweet

16's are a neither-use-nor-ornament size to me

Personally I think 17's look the bomb. However they are a hefty weight. If you can afford running two sets of tyres then I'd go for 15's/14's winter/track - 17s summer. But the car does look pretty boring on 15's - so 16's a good and cheap comprimise as they don't really effect performance and they don't require any arch mods after lowering.

[jaxx]

16's cost as much as 17's at the best of times :P especially for tyres

if you go for a good jap brand of wheel or OZs etc then your talking lightweight anyway. if youve got the dollar you can get them lighter than the OE 15's

[Chuck04]

yea i know people who have bought 17 for the price i bought my 16s, not complaining tho, id hapily have mine anyday

Well I got mine at a price you wouldn't have been able to get 17's. But its true - a lot of em cost similar. Don't forget the added cost of arch modding if lowering as well.

I just love the SR wheels... perfect amount of spokes to space ratio. They just look hot!
