Ok, this may be a stupid question but I'm hoping to get some Facelift wheels shortly for my pre-facelift model and wondered if it is just a case of changing them over or is there anything else I should be doing? Alignment etc.

Thanks

 

straight on, ideally alignment too as they're bigger and different widths

 

Funnily enough best motoring tried this, their conclusion was it felt wrong and put up a slower lap. I know lap times aren't everything but just my 2p

 

I thought they said it improved it after fitting the 17s

No need to do the alignment, bigger wheels isn't going to change anything to the settings!

 

Didn't the do that swap (17"s on to an early mdoel) in one of the Tsukuba time attacks and it made better laps times ? I think it's this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyo7VU9_gps

Anyway, the 17"s looks miles better and yes a geo set up afterwards would probably be the best bet

 

Iirc the ap1 with the ap2 wheels was slower and the ap2 with the ap1 wheels was about the same. I may be wrong though been a while since I watched it.

 

Yeah, haven't got time to watch at the mo - can someone use a bit of their lunch break and confirm for us

 

At the end of the day the important thing is the 17's look a million times better, the oem 16's make the s look so dated IMO

 

it was faster with the 17s, I remember, I don't need to watch it

I think the ap2 was 2 seconds faster and the ap1 1 sec faster with the wheel change on a short lap.

 

The pre facelift on facelift wheels was quicker than it was on 16s but slower than the facelit was. Better suspension or more power?
