definately something different that's for sure. All the wheels I like cost a fortune, best get saving! would you all say 17" is the "usual" size for these then, as it seems not many people are rolling on 15s!

It's up to you mate.

15" is fine as long as you're willing to go really low.

17" is better for speed bump clearance.

16" is a happy median.

Team Dynamics-Swords 17" 4x100 ET38 with around and 80ish mm drop.

Bloody horrible but i got them new when it was my missus 1st car and was only £380 for a set new so i wasnt too bothered if she curbed them(which she did) new ones will be aquired once ive sorted the interior out.

This pic isnt of the wheels but i just like it (probably becuase they arnt in it) :grin:

Wheel size has sod all effect on ride height!
Using the correct tyres for each wheel diameter you will end up with the same rolling radius!
