Default Picture request, non OEM 17 inch alloys on a newage

As requested, I want to know if after market 17's are worthwhile or just look too small.

Thanks.

Id say they look too small mate. If the origionals look small then chances are, the aftermarket ones will! I like the design of mine on the sti but I wish they were 18's!

The thing with the 17" is you need to lower the car by about 30mm-40mm then they look sweat!



Theses wheels are for sale with nearly new toyo T1Rs fitted if your interested mate!

Hmm, what to do? What to do?

I do like 18's but you are looking at £250+ extra for a set.

Has anyone got any Rota Torques?

Keep the pictures coming.

18's look better imho, but 17's can look cool on a car dumped in the weeds. I'm prob going to keep mine anyway maybe in white or gunmetal but gold has grown on me a lot......

If I were you I would get some anthracite 18's, always looks the business on black, you won't be disappointed
