Greetings. Which wheels will make the Grande Punto Abarth Essesse perform faster? The 215/40 R18 that are provided, or 225/45 R17? If anyone knows anything, please help. Thanks.:)

I'd go for cost effectiveness, personal preference and how they look, i'd be tempted to go for the 17s cus of the width, but if they look a bit small on an abarth then maybe not. I run 17s on mine but its just the Dynamic so they look and feel top notch so couldnt really say for an esse esse
 
Personally i'd stick with the 18's- aren't the esse esse wheels made by O.Z anyway? Because if so, then it's likely they are quite lightweight anyway.

There's not going to be that much difference between the 2 sizes anyway on a 180bhp car. I'd go for the bigger and wider for more traction rather than sacrificing it for a negligable gain in speed/ performance.
 
The Grande Punto Abarth Esseesse does perform way better and faster with the 18 in. wheels provided.(y)
