my question is which one is good for euro?
and also,is bigger size means better handling?

they are both suitable for the euro.

smaller the size, less the weight, better the handling.

IMO the first set is the looks the best (black 6 spoke).

depends best performance would be 17" running 215/45 or so.

i thought bigger size has better handling.
and i think the first one is one of the best looks.

actually, when I swapped the stock 16's for the Sports 17" with wider contact patch - steering felt much heavier at low speeds - understandable... but at speeds, the low profile tyres made a big difference in handling, much more responsive

and do post up pics once they're installed! looking good
