wheel size

[TKO]

Just my personal taste, going for bigger rim size will cause adverse visual impact as it make the brake looks super tiny. It will be difference if you are going to change the brake clipper to 6pots spoon, Brembo or the like.

So true, my brakes have been upgraded, but only slightly bigger than original.

Looks kinda funny with 18's and these tiny little brakes.

I'd rather go some light weight 15's or 16's at the max.

make sure you get the correct offset if you are going or already have lowered you car.
or you may get some scrubbing. i would go 16inch, lighter and if you get a good design actually look bigger than they should be. cheaper on tyres too!

i have 18's and my car is lowered, doesnt scrub.... nothing wrong with them yet... haha but prob need more wheel alliignments than most ppl bcoz of it in future.
they quite heavy on the car as they chrome...
though im not looking to make my car into a "faster" car.

Legal - 15" -16"
Defectable - 17" < Bigger +"

Me too.

However I don't find the availability of high performance rubber is the best in this size.

ie tyres with a UTQG of 220ish or lower.


To stay within a couple percent of the OEM tyre size means 17inch rims require really low profile. Not practical if you don't want any legal attention.

The other problem is good (forged), used, 4x100 rims don't come up too often, sigh. We live in a Commodre, Falcon & Skyline world.
