Hello all, just bought a Bravo ;)

As a noob i have few queries but you seem like a helpful bunch so should be ok

Just bought a 2001 Fiat Bravo 1.2 and want to get some nice wheels too set it off

Been looking at 17s primarily:
http://www.dcp-shop.co.uk/buy-car-ac...oducts_id=4919

Which wheel fittings should i choose?

Also ive read that 17s are probably gonna make the ride very sensitive so i may go for 16s, could anyone possibly post up pics of a bravo with 16s and one with 17s so i can see the difference.

Probably asking a lot in my first post but hey, any help would be much appreciated

Re: Hello all, just bought a Bravo ;)

on that website there is no fitting choice suitable for fiats. fiat use a 4x98pcd, but if you ask for it i'm sure they'll be able to get them for you.

17s are a very hard ride, especially if you get it lowered. but if its the look you want you'll have to put up with the bad back.

Re: Hello all, just bought a Bravo ;)

I may choose to comprimise the looks and ride though with some 16s.

Is there any chance of the photos of a bravo with 17s and one with 16s? im struggeling to imagine the difference to be major?

Re: Hello all, just bought a Bravo ;)

Can someone point me in the right direction for a 40mm or 45mm lowering kit for a 1.2?

Cheers

Re: Hello all, just bought a Bravo ;)

i bought 45mm jamex springs on ebay, £49 buy it now with free delivery. you can fit them yourself its very easy. if you can read a haynes manual you'll have no problem with springs.
