Default What size shall I go for?
Looking to change my wheels in the near future, but unsure on what size to go for! Shall I opt for 17 or 18 inch diameters? Another factor to consider is that I will more than likely go for a dished wheel as I have a soft spot for them! Any ideas?

17s for performance, 18s for bling.

I was leaning more to 17s but due to the style of the wheel (deep dish) a 17 may look smaller than it is if you no what i mean!

18s if you want a dish, I was going to put 17s on mine but because of the big dish they would have looked like 16s, 18s all the way, no regrets (or buffing!!!) and there 18x10 on the rear

My mate has 17" front and 18" rear on his MR2, it works quite well.



Probably not advisable to put 18's on the front.
