What mags would suit my car? Options

[Liam_c]

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?

Both are the same price, and include tyres.

By the way, if your prompting factor for the wheel upgrade is performance tyres, I sincerely hope you weren't planning to use the ones that are in that wheel and tyre package.... they will be nowhere near as good as your current Dunlop's!!!

I just upgraded to 16" 7th gen rims from the stock 15's. Much greater selection in the 205/50/16 than before. It is actually our rolling diameter that is unusual though, not just this size... the 215/45/17's (which is the size with the greatest availability by far) are not actually the correct size for our cars, and will leave your speedometer slightly incorrect. That said, it is close enough and I would get them if I went 17".

I got some part worn Yokohama C.Drives which I had on the front for about 2 weeks then swapped to the back and got some new Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres for the front (both sets 205/50/16). The Yokohamas will probably give a similar performance to your current tyres, but the PS3's were a big step up again.... SOO MUCH GRIP!!! I was upgrading from cheap tyres like are in this kit, and I will NEVER go back again.
