Once from me:
Your car looks awesome! The color of the rims complements the looks further. About trims, i can't decide really. Should look nice both ways imho.

Nice car dude, loving the wheels

hey , no the Arch trims were removed by the previous owner , i do however have a set available that im going to put back , looks to naked with out it .
Only problems i have so far is that the expansion tank is rubbing on the wheel when i hit bumps and its getting annoying , but i was told that the Uno (Pacer) or 45 as you know it has a Replacement hose , and that should solve my problem ,
Another thing is roling with big wheels stuffs my fuel consumption up , and it starting to annoy me abit .. but let me show u a full pic ..

that looks really really smart mate! very nice Ut u have there! i shall be running 16's when mines back on the road

It really looks cool. I got a 14"s, biggest so far I've seen here in the Philippines is 15". Cheers.

im running 15s again

Well done for actually going out and doing it, the 17's do (or did...) look great.

I like my 15s.
I don't think they really look a whole two inches smaller... Must be because my tyres are smaller too (with your 17s, what tyres did you have? Must be hard to get 195-width tyres in 17"?)

Original 175/60/13" tyre = rolling radius 270.1mm
185/60/13" tyre fitted to my Uno by previous owner = rolling radius 276.1mm

My 195/45/15" tyre = rolling radius 278.25mm
Difference from original (speedometer error) 3.02%
(Helps to make standard speedometer more accurate!)

You would need 30-profile 17" 195 or 205 tyres to get close to this.
If you had, say, 205/35/17 tyres, rolling radius = 287.65mm, 6.5% error.

I use the excellent page
http://www.chris-longhurst.com/carbibles/tyre_bible.html
to make these calculations.

One other tidbit of info - I think the 'Pacer' in South Africa is more like a Mk2 5-dr 60s, as it has the 1108cc engine?

Thanks,
