    Thanks everyone, still difficult to decide it looks nice some times but then again can look too big. Argh... why can't they make really nice modern quality wheels in 16"?

    my old one, handled like a bag of ****, rubbed on full lock, rear passengers was a nightmare, rear arches were rolled an flared as were the front ones and still rubbed, i think the offset was well out, but i was happy, i was 20, and i had 17s on my nova. . Jesus that was 10 years ago.



    sorry about the ****ty pic

    Well spotted. They were BSA 187. I sold them to a lad with a mk3golf and they fitted a treat. Lol.

    My old 1.0 with ATP Helicopters in ET49 offset. Caught the inner arch slightly, could have been sorted with a few blows with a hammer if you wanted to! Not worth it in my opinion, car was totally undriveable, and a 1.0 trying to turn the 17's didn't work either!!

    Think I'm siding with the fact that they look a tad big. Thanks for all the pics though. Looks like I'm gonna have to keep searching for wheels. Wonder if the Chinese have exact copies of the top wheels?
