:bang: Hi all I haven't a clue about this is it better for the car to have it on 15inch alloys or are the 16 inch better? I really mean ride etc, also will the multispoke be a nightmare to clean, though they look more retro than the rest what are you lot going for. I can't believe how many decisions there are to make :confused:
 
17's :D

I had 15s on until now thought they looked good, but the 16's look better. Having driven a wide range of the 500'w in different combinations I don't think there is a lot of ride difference between the 15's and 16's on standard sspension

15" on a Sport for me. Originally wanted 16" but they would have delayed order. On the Sport, the 16" make for a harder ride I think. As for cleaning - just pay someone else to do it!
 
Ride is fine on the 15s. It's probably the best compromise between ride and handling when comparing the 14" steel wheels on the Pop, the 15" alloys or the 16" optional wheels. Ride hight looks alright on the 15s - don't expect a real sporting stance though, if you're after the low riding look then lowering springs will be a must :)
 
Suasexed the car is for my wife Linda [ and for me to take to play football twice a week :D ] so she doesn't need any lowering in fact what is the driving position like as she has a smart car at the moment and loves the position as it's a bit higher than normal cars?
 
Seats are higher in the Lounge than the Sport - haven't tried a Pop. The 15s will be fine for you - ride and look-wise.

Must admit, I'm considering some lowering springs on my Sport - although I'll probably wait until I upgrade to the Abarth SuperSport, whenever that's released. Can't wait to have a car I can actually track!
 
The 420's only delayed my order by a week, so not long at all, worth the wait :D:D
 
I think it is to do with code numbers in your big ring bound fiat 500 brochure...
codes for multi spokes for example 16 " is 435...hence 435s and so on...:D
 
15... 16... 17...

When I first got mine, I liked the wheels, then I saw the 16's and thought they were gorgeous.

The 16's on the red Sport would be my choice of the options available, but will see when we change the rubber on the 17's today
