Velocity with 17" wheels

Does anybody have a Velocity with a set of 17" wheels? If yes would you have any pictures of the side of the car showing the rear wheel arches.

Have a look in my Archive, mine are 17" with 40% section tyres.

Also in my archive is a lot of pictures of the original Luego Demonstrator which had 17" wheels and 40% tyres as well.



EDIT
I have to admit, anything less that 17" doesnt look quite right on a Viento.
15" looks fine on a Velocity, but I think the larger car (Viento) warrants the larger wheels to keep the scaling aspect correct.

Sorry to hijack,
By any chance you know how do Velocity chassis compares with a +442E?
I am building one with 1.5" X 1.5" so it actually is +553E, and using Mustang drivetrain wich steered me towards 17" Diameter due to availability of desired rims.
Thanks in advance.
