Looking good on those rims Rob.
always amazes me how wheels totally transform the look and 'attitude' of a car
now she is a dirty little tarmac rally slag:devil:
WOW! Looks really, really good!
Btw, is that the 500 Fifth Gear gave away as a competition prize?

It looks awful to me......sorry.
Much better on 15" or 16" originals.
thanks for the negative feedback
For comparions sake, this is my 500 on 15"s last friday. I love the look of the 17"s on Robs but I recoil in horror at the thought of the tyre bills
A picture of yours at the same angle Rob, that's what we need. I wanna see how it looks on full load powering out of a corner.

regarding tyres, 17" aren't that much more expensive
it's the 16"s that are an expensive option with minimal choice
205/40-17
Yoko A539 £70 a corner
Toyo R888 £105 a corner
205/45-16"
Yoko Parada £80
195/50-15"
Toyo R888 £80 a corner
Yoko Parada £40
I think your choice is very good though.

I think they both look good. 500s are a bit too cute and look better with a bit of attitude.

17" 205/40's in R888 run something like £125 a corner. Ouchy. I could almost insure my beast for a year for that kind of money
nope £105 a corner - see my tyre comparison post 14, 15"s £80 a corner
Are those compos on at the correct PCD or are you using wobbly bolts?
OP
OP
yea correct PCD
4x98 ET35
fit perfect with standard bolts - just had to remove the 'spikes' that hold the disc on
