NEVER thought id say this again 
BUT im thinking of 17s again as im just getting pissed off with twating evey speed hump and i keep bottoming out on the front and skirts just on the road and the ramp i need for my garage is just stupid!
The reason i didnt like the 17s was because of the hieght the kit was of the ground but now that i have the airdam it might be different!
The only other problem is that i cant have the look of the tyre in te arch as i have now as it rubs to much!
16s:
17s:
Dont think the 17s i bought were the right ones for the car granted!
Whats peeps thoughts?

try some 17" t12's
that design is perfect for your car.
i'm sure if you went to a big enough place they'd let you line a set up next to your car to seee what they're like.

Cheeky I want your wheels (the 16s) if you get shot of them... how much you want? Did you have any problems lowering with that offset (I know it's almost a perfect offset but still)

If i did sell them wont be for a little while yet as i got a exotic holiday to pay for at the mo!
And no probs, but the 195/40/16s are deffo worth the extra bit of cash!
But i have done arch mods!

I've got a set of 45 profiles on the 16"s I have at the moment and I can see why the 40s would be better  . I've just got this problem about downsizing now I've had 16s on, must be some kind of penis envy

Would love to swap to the C's rims actually but can only do the back and that would be a push!
Fronts wont fit cuz of the coilovers

Get the OZ Superturismo GT 17 inch.
Get the wheel arches rolled out, and your car is a bomb.

Hi mate. i think you should stick with your 16s cos they suite your car down to the ground.
But i was thinking of selling my wheels becausei ain't planning on keeping and doing anything with my car. Got inspiration from icy and fone a lil shop to see what they would look like. Might not be accurate but here it is......
Probably wouldn't look like that but i think it looks
