HI all
I guess this has been done before, but it must be the first mod, if it improves the grip. Plus it looks better

What's the difference, does it tram line or feel numb?

Regards

NO! 17 inchers doesnt really matter that much.. if you have a 17 incher with crappy tires, i would rather have a 16 incher with good tires.. the tires matter more than the actual rim diameter. although the width of the rim plays an important part too. the S comes with one of the best OEM tires you could find stock. You should be happy with the performance already. usually people buy rims just for show, to make the car stand out more.

but my philosophy is --> WHY spend the $ for others to enjoy (when you drive the car, your not looking at the rims are you?) others are enjoying the looks, so why bother?

spend the $ on MODS!! atleast thats something you will be able to Enjoy

What about 17" (or 18" for that matter) with very good tires?
Is performance improved?

I too am looking into new wheels!
