I need your opinions....
I currently have 16" Avanti Mags and dunlop SP tyres, and I'm interested in upgrading to directional sport tyres... The only issue i have, is that the for the tyres i want (Sport, lower noise, etc) Are very expensive.. Plus im not really that keen on the mag wheels that i have currently. I've been told that upgrading to 17'' mags that i'd be better off, as i can style my car, tyres are more readily available and are cheaper. So, here is what i'd like to ask... What do you think would suit my car better? http://www.hyperdrive.co.nz/product/wheel-...o/303765/detail http://www.hyperdrive.co.nz/product/wheel-...o/166938/detail Both are the same price, and include tyres.

You probably will notice a ride quality decrease with 17s and low profile tyres. I know I did. But the car looks better with 17s. A trade off. Directionals are quite a noisy form of tyre. I changed to assymetricals this week and did notice less noise. The tyres I went to are Toyo C1S. They are 215x45. Don't go to 40s.
Nice looking car, by the way. |
