17's and IMO 12 spokes look amazing on Puntos (thats why Ive got 17" 12 spokes)

The read that the diffs are a common fault with the gearboxes on these cars and many experts advise not to fit anything larger than the oem spec unless traction is an issue.

Sounds like billy bull**** to me.

Loads of people have 17s on mk2s and have no problems.

Re: alloys on my punto mk2

Good man, wise choice of vehicle! What colour is the car? If I were you and I had the money lol I would get Wolfrace Octane's (think thats how you spell it) with the chrome rim! That would be my perfect alloy.. and yes in 17"
