I never really had a problem with the OEM 16" wheels - until I bought an 04 and saw them compared side by side with the OEM 04+ 17" wheels.

I don't have a problem with the design but the 16s look just too small now, and rather lost in the arches.

18's are found the S easier to handle on 18's with eagle F1 tyres than stock 16's and SO2's
