Have I made the wrong wheel choice??
New wheels have arrived.... I was going to use the donor wheels as I liked the deep dish look. However due to a great offer and the fact the wheels
needed recon and new rubber I got a set of OZ ultraleggera with toyo T1-R's. 17" as the offer only applied to the one set at a bloody
good price. Yes I might be 0.5 seconds slower on track but hey!
Just not sure if i'm sold on them in the flesh.... are they a little too bling?

Personally I wouldn't have 17's, but that said, they do look nice!

I've got them on mine albeit in 15" they look ok but my main concern was weight 5.1kgs
Must try harder

the 17" are only 7.5ish kg's. I know 17" aren't everyones choice but it was down to cost and I wasn't sure 15"
would go over the brakes at the rear.

I have 17s one mine and i think they are ok, the difference in performance wont be really noticeable either.
By the way, the wheels look great.

I'm not worried about the tiny fractions of a second smaller wheels would save me. These are lighter than most 15" wheels.

i like the style of wheels, but i dont like the look of 17" wheels on a 7'esque car.

I'm now sold on them, a good 45 minutes staring at them has done it! The finish is top notch.
There not too big either Functional is what i'd say. I'll enjoy the 1" extra ground clearance.

17 is not big
if i went any smaller on my viento i would drag it along the ground
plus you can get MUCH bigger tyre choice and much more width

with those 17's you need to get bigger brakes, just doesn'tlook right for me. fill the rim.

look fab but as others have said 17's are too big for 7. IMO of course!!!

If it was mostly for track then I wouldn't have gone so big but they look good and look fairly easy to clean which is always a consideration for
me!
