after buckling my 2nd 17 inch rim in so many months ive decided to get rid of them, the ride on them is crap, handling and speed decreased and they buckle far too easily.

ok, i have psg2 archs, so i know 16's may look a bit small which is why im thinking about getting some seriously wide 16's (euro style). cant go smaller than 16's cos of brakes. its lowered over 60mm at the front so they shouldnt look too out of place either. anyone got any ideas? ideally i fairly high offset would be good too. cheers guys.

alrite kris,
i take it u want an ET30 in order to make the wheels stick out,making them fill the width of the arches and make them look wider than what they actually are!!
i think the widest u can go for in 16'' form is 7inches, or ur lookin at big bucks.
the only make i can think of that could do a really wide 16'' rim, is BBS. they might do a 16'' 8inch split rim.just an idea mate.
