Vintage Calibre or Porsche Twists?

Really need your help guys (as usual lol)

Seen a couple of sets of wheels for sale on ed30 etc

Just wondering what do you think looks better and what would you go for; will put price,width etc

Vintage calibre 17s 8j (£550ono) with tyres , bolts, centre caps)



Staggered porsche twists; 18" 7.5j & 18" 10j, falkens with good tread,4 steel adapters & bolts (£700ono)



Are they good price?

Would 17s be too small? will be getting coilovers so will be lowered lol


Thanks guys :afro:

Now I've seen them, I prefer the first ones, but the second ones will be easier to keep clean. With this weather and all the dirt, wheels are hard to keep clean, those detailing chaps must be breathing in a brown paper bag trying to not panic  :grin:
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

17"s will be ok but you need to lower it, I would also recommend that you budget to get better tyres, wheel / tyre packages tend to come with ditchfinders.

Cleaning? Whats that? That's dads job lol

Don't know whether to just spend a lil extra and get a brand new set or calibre in 18s and maybe stagger them???
Maybe do the same wih 17s??

Whats the best "j" to go with?

Ive got  Lesnso RS5's...need spacing especially on the rear but great alloys and they are 17's, as above could do with lowering. I would go for the Vintage calibre imo, they are very nice  :smiley: .
