Which alloys? Punto JTD

I've been looking for some alloys for my Punto JTD, I've found the following 4 that I quite like:

1.
http://alloywheels.com/product.asp?P_ID=993&V_ID=25472

2.
http://alloywheels.com/product.asp?P_ID=1579&V_ID=27302

3.
http://alloywheels.com/product.asp?P_ID=384&V_ID=1317

4.
http://alloywheels.com/product.asp?P_ID=984&V_ID=25463

I think I prefer the first one, I think the other 3 might look a bit chavvy on my car. I don't want anything that looks over the top or chavvy, I just want some alloys that look .

What does everyone else think? Bearing in mind that they will be going on my light blue Punto JTD:



If you don't like any of the above alloys, then please suggest some that you think would suit my car.

Re: Which alloys? Punto JTD

I like the 1st or the 4th, tho im worried the Dotz would be too bulky in a smaller size

if i can find decent pics of the wheels, i might have a go at photoshopping them

Re: Which alloys? Punto JTD

what size wheels are you going to have, 3 or 4 would be good if your going for a 15" wheel as the spokes go right to the edge so make the wheel look bigger

These are all 17" wheels, I would prefer 16" as I think they look better on a Punto, but there's not many 16" designs to choose from. 15" and 17" seems to be the most common sizes so many manufacturers don't seem to bother making 16" versions.

Re: Which alloys? Punto JTD

15" is indeed where it's at. Just enough rubber to cushion out the little bumps giving better grip than if you were on 17's.

Number 1 looks a bit like the Bravo HLX shape. I like it.
Number 2 I like. Bit like my Marea's alloys with the 6 spokes
Number 3 looks like a new Golf alloy. Think its a bit too bling for a JTD.
Number 4 looks a bit common. No like.

Thanks for the opinions guys, I've decided against 17's - I'm going to get some 15's and slam it.

Re: Which alloys? Punto JTD

I still cant see peoples aversion to 17's, most of the people against them (not directed to anyone here) haven't even tried them. They are not massive and garish, they do not spoil the ride, you may feel a little more road but not a lot and I do a LOT of motorway miles.

The handling improved when I fitted mine, more tyre on floor = better grip.

And not noticable difference in speed
