its the weight of the wheels that effects handling, get a good light weight 17" will handle better than a higher profile 16" with more weight

I am struggling with same problem. I want some 16" white/silver 5-6 spoke light motorsport wheels which can take some serious driving without going to shape of egg.
Original rs turbo wheels are crap tin.

The Azev's look cool as! I do have a tidy set of Momo Arrows in 16" for sale though

What I think would really suit it IMO is RS 7 spoke softlines but I've only ever seen them in 15" and 17"

Azev´s look fine. I think those first too but there is no proper size of azev a available.


http://www.azev.com/typ_a_classico_hp.html

7,5 x 16 Zoll

ET 20 - 30 (this should be 38-42)

179,00 Euro* each so 716€ / set + tyres.

Wheels are like your choice of women a personal thing one persons beauty is anothers dog. Choose wheels that are the correct size for the handling of the car not that fill the arches or are bigger than your mates, cars are for driving not looking at. Whatever you choose 50% will think they are pants so its you not the people on here thats got to choose.
