I would never have 17's anyhow.
Looks like 16 is the right compromise then.

15s are the way forward, best handling and not stupid tyre prices, and dont slow ya car down

C16XE = Plastic Inlet = Horrible noise which everything thinks my engine is falling apart but in actual fact makes no difference what so ever.
Was playing with the Blue Astra GSi that was parked next to me last night.
Good fun

15's were already on my car, think i'd go with 16's but anything bigger you loose power, have to start fucking around with the arch's and tyres cost a fourtune.

The outer rolling radius of a 15" 16" and 17" wheel is very similar. All you are doing is replacing rubber and air with metal, thus improving on handling but degrading on ride quality... Your right about tyre prices though
