Just after some input from people who know...
The pro's and con's between stock 17" wheels or 18" wheels?
Is it worth changing or is just more hassle.
Cheers
GreGGS....

 

I had both. No big difference. Just make sure u get some nice wheels if u go 18's

 

18s cost more, weigh more, and don't offer any performance benefit (unless you want to go to the trouble to fit some seriously wide rubber in the 295-315 range).

For the S, I say stick with 17s.

 

Many thanks..
I have stock 16's at the moment, will change these to stock 17's.
cheers....

 

definitely check the weight for whatever rim you buy, my 18" rims are nice but there is an 8 lb difference between the rears (rim/tire) and not as fast accelerating as my stock 16" rims...

 

17s for performance
18s for looks

in my opinion... weight difference if you are getting forged wheels generally aren't very big... it's the rotational mass that changes (since the weight will be further from center)

 

I just went up to 17" OEM wheels.

Here is a thread and my comments to this point.
