Hi Guys,

Back on 17s today. I got 'em refurbed they look as good as new. The car is running 10 times faster and also the ABS appears to be working again.

I decided to run with the 15mm spacers on the back. Looks much nicer (wheels sit in the arch. I also got new rubber on the rear - P Zero's ofcourse. It appears the new tyres come with a larger tyre protector. Not sure I like it though, it reminds me of Toyo Proxys.

Anyways will sort some pics tomorrow morning.

Cheers

Sunil

 

Sunil... Did you get them powder coated, painted or chromed?

Explains quite nicely why there should be no difference in 18-17 wheels, providing the correct aspect ratio is chosen.......there is a comparison guide to help make these choices as well.

Might be useful to anyone else thinking of 18"s.

Dude, I promise you that there is a difference!!! I will take pictures today with a measuring tape.

I just got the wheels restored to there normal state. No colours.

Cheers

Lol,

bring them with you to Raymonds...........

Only joking, Just remember to keep them clean now they've been refurbed, I use either Rejex or Zymol to keep the cr@p at bay...

As we have all said, providing that you run the correct tyre sizes then there is no problem with rolling diameter - although if you prefer the 17's and you are happy - thats the main thing!

 

I think i'll give the porker a quick zymol today ;o). Christer I love the next avitar. I 'm a big borat fan too.

 

Its niiice. Why do we talk about Rikki Martin?
