the 15" wheels look better but the 17" ones would make the car handle better.

Sorry, 17's look better IMO. I think saff's look 15 years old with the original wheels. Where as with a set of 17's on it makes it look like a much newer car.

I changed my lattice alloys for a set of RS7's. Much better!!!
