Default Back to standard alloys

hey guys.

Just some opinions needed really.

i have the opportunity to get a set of standard sharktooths for my cossie.

i have never really liked the oz superlaggeras on mine so will sell them once i get the sharktooths refurbed and put which every rubber on them.
might stick to toyo t1r proxes or just buy budget tyres as they are standard alloys.

Good idea?

I've got the standard lattice on me 2wd, they seriously need a refurb, but I seriously need to get 17's to clear my new calipers, I would really like the lattice in 17" but not made.
I like the std look, think yours will look better with the sharks.

I also prefer the 'shark tooth' style but unfortunately engine mods/power hikes and ultimately the reguirment of beefier brakes results in having to change to 17", Ford should of made a 17" version imoh lol

Standard all the way imho but only if it's standard ride height I think they look awfull when people lower them on standard wheels!
