you can get 17 inch tyres cheaper than the 16's ben, why not go for some 17inch rims? might be a little bit more expensive but you'll be saving money when it comes to buyin new tyres? just a thought!

the 16's will look boss with 40's on them tho eek <img border="0" alt="[smokin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions036.gif" /> eek

i did think about 17s, but i decided it'd make the car almost undriveable and extremely slow. so im gonna go for 16s.....its all part of the masterplan wink

peformance is ok.....cant expect miracles from a 1.3 engine (i dont wanna put 17s on cos i'll get smoked by nova's and metro's - i could never live that down) Although, i did **** my mate up the other day. he tried to overtake me....so i put my foot down and he tried pullin in but i was still next to him for longer than he expected laugh

but as for my masterplan, i wanna go all out smooth and low. no locks, handles, badges or gaps between my tyres and arches.
it might be a while though, the cash is starting to dry up now frown ah, the life of a student

Sounds good man, 17s are cheaper and more selection of tyres...

but i think 16s will be for the best....
