Default Wheels



I have been reading up on wheels for my '03 S2K & the more I read, the more confused I get!

At the moment I have the standard 16's fitted but I'd like to get some 17's. However, I have heard that doing this can effect the handling. Can someone clarify this for me please?

If it's ok to put 17's on, where are the good places to buy & do they NEED to be different sizes front & rear or not?

Thanks,

Neil.

Reminds me of the black stuff football players use under their eyes.
