I do like the look of the 17s but hows it affect the way it drives ....(truthfully)

Only done a couple of short runs but the steering feels just as light and positive and the ride feels fine but not pushed it, but at the mo it feels really good.

Shouldnt do if the rolling radius is the same.
It depends on what tyres you have on.

ie a 13" 80% profile could be the same circumference as a 17" 40% profile tyre.

does'nt feel any slower....... they are 205 x 40 x 17 Toyo's

Sorry, I prefer the other wheels....think they suit the car better. Not sure why though - just opinion. Sorry that was very constructive! I do like the seats though....tres cool....Oli.

not sure why? they are by far nicer. Each to their own I gues.

Are you keeping the other wheels? what are they?

Good point. still though are they not heavier?

i'm keeping the old wheels for trackdays but prefer the look of the 17's for normal road use.....and they feel great on the road plus i've cured where they rubbed on the rear wheel arch so a good day with the MK
