STORM 2 0 Posted March 16, 2006 I can't wait to get fid of my 17's. IMO they take away from what the Corrado is really all about ( i.e handling ) You weren't complaining about my handling on Sunday! :lol: Oooer Matron! Well I was almost decided on 16s until Kev posted his comments and now I dont have a clue. Someone of his experience in alloys ( I believe he has owned all of them one time or another) simply cannot be ignored!! I suppose if I want a decent ride especially once lowered I should go for 16s....Hey Ho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retroactivefunk 0 Posted March 16, 2006 another vote for 16's! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted March 17, 2006 The 17s were also best for feel consistency..... with 15s and 16s, get them good and hot and the sidewalls start to feel mushy on testing corners.....but 17s in the winter when the armco is harder than granite....hmmmmm....crashiness central. I can't believe it's possible to get tyres *that* hot on the road. Is it really? If we were talking about a track car then sure, but nobody's mentioned track use. I agree with the consistency comment on the 17s though....consistently awful :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lottysvdub 0 Posted March 18, 2006 mines on 17"s and shes lowered by 40mm , drives fine just need to avoid large pot holes , they dont like them :multi: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STORM 2 0 Posted March 19, 2006 Looks like the general forum opinion is 16s then.............lowered or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buttles 0 Posted March 19, 2006 Dropped to 60cm on 16" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted March 20, 2006 My 2-penny..... both look good; you want a good design alloy. Yet the 16" seems the best compromise for handling and comfort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 20, 2006 16s if you want 9" width, otherwise 7.5x17 tucks nicely under the arch... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Just had my standard BBS balanced and put them on, and , I can't believe the difference it's made. It's like driving a completely different car - a better one! I appreciate that larger wheels fill the arches more, but the 17's I had made the car look like it hadn't been lowered at all! and also made the car feel/handle like absolute pooh! I've not tried a rado on 16's yet so would be very interested to see what it's like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted March 23, 2006 So it looks more lowered with with 15s then Walesy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Yep, I assumed that it was on standard suspension as it looked so high! Now it looks to be dropped around 40mm, not too high-but not too low. ( my camera's broken so can't take any more pics :( ) And it drives completely differently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 23, 2006 I read that as your 'cam' had broken, as in a very bad thing!! :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Junior Jackson 0 Posted March 23, 2006 RS VR6, do you (or anyone else) know what the rims are on the blue rado (the 16's presumably)? Thanks, Chris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
