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.

1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Speak for yourself, I think mine looks fine with 15's it looks lower and squater.  
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

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.
