SteveRobb 0 Posted April 17, 2009 I have recently acquired a 93 G60 in grey and plan to put a set of black alloy wheels on it. I really want to fill up the arches but don't want to compromise too much on the ride comfort. What's the general feeling on 16's and 17's? Will 16's fill the arches? Will 17's compromise ride comfort and handling? Want to make sure I have enough info before I part with £700 odd notes!! Thanks Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yeti 0 Posted April 17, 2009 well my main advice would be buy light! - split 16's or some 16's are heavier than many good quality 17's - my car handles soooo much better with light 17" rc's than the old 16" splits than i had before what style do you like? - euro/race/bling/oem etc?

dukest 0 Posted April 17, 2009 was thinking of these... http://www.motorspeed.com/store_main.as ... ct_id=2514 Steve not sure what tyres you get on them, but these guys are cheaper than that with basic tyres on. for 17s light is 7kg, heavy is 11kg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
