[QUOTE="prodigy, post: 744669, member: 232"] Rollakid, Nice informative post. I agree with you that you shouldn't be using excessively large rims unless you're more of an aesthetic person. For me, I'd rather have the car working in optimum condition and i stick to my 14" stock rims with a nice set of grippy tyres thats all. We seem to think the bigger the rim, the better handling the car gets. To some extent its true but you need to look at the bigger picture. A cheapo 17" rims weighs like a few million kilos and you're actually adding more unsprung weight to the car and this alters the acceleration and handling too. I'd say if you're driving a regular 1.5 or 1.6 litre car, the max you should go is only 16". As for 1.8 above, then maybe a 17" rims is fine. But saying this, it doesn't mean you cannot fit a 17" rims on a 1.3 or 1.5, its just that the car is not working in optimum condition. As it is, the money is yours. [/QUOTE]
