I am in your boat Alvis, I have plenty of tread, just waiting away for them to wear down. My EK is temporary until I can afford a nice Landcruiser (different worlds I know)... so I don't wanna spend a fortune.
16" you can at least see that its a lower profile wheel (for the looks) But.. if the mood takes I could even go 17" just for the look lol, I ain't racing the thing. As long as the rolling diameter is the same as stock... and there is enough tyre there that it doesn't become a skateboard to drive on... we put 18" on our commodore, what would you say is the equivalent to an 18" on a commodore with ride and handling? We didn't notice any difference in comfort and it handles like a cat on carpet now (the sport suspension helps though).
Probably spend about a grand tops on wheels/tyres, 1/4 the price I paid for the car lol... but seems reasonable? I think... we got quoted $1300 for 18" Speedy wheels with middle of the road tyres for our Commodore.
Just want to give it some sex appeal over hub capsfor resale and my own enjoyment of the car.
