17S ARE GOOD AND 18S LOOK GREAT. 16" TYRES ARE CHEAP, 17S ARE AFFORDABLE AND 18S ARE BLOOMING REDICULOUS.
I WOULD GO TO 17S UNLESS YOU HAVE A BIG BANK BALANCE. 18" CAN MAKE THE MY99 HANDLE A LITTLE STRANGELY TOO.

Got my P1 on 18's and it's fairly comfortable - a charactersitic of the P-Zero's apparently.
Only get 18's if you've got big brakes though, otherwise they look a little out of place.

oh dear - sounds like were going inot a 'muppet' post
Very few have the 18's-unless you have the P1 (nvermind) - I know of someone who put the 18's and and sold them after a few months and went back to 17'
If you have loads of money then go for the 18's - that said I would pay less secon d hand for a car with 18's - bit of a KEV boy racer look - possibly P1 excepted

Hi Ork
Seems we have similar taste.....i've got R3`s as well.
Don't tell me.....you`ve got a 4 door silver car too!!!!
Noooooo don`t say there`s another silver 4 door with R3`s!!!!! 
Am a bit cheesed off with the handling of mine`cause of the weight of them despite using Billies

Hi AlanG,
Our worst nighmare's have just came true.
I also have a silver 4 door with R3's.
To add to injury, I was driving on the road towards preston, and what was sitting on the
opposite side of the carriage way in a layby, another silver 4 door with R3's.
Buy the way I am now traiding it in tomorrow for a space hopper!

Guess not.
There is alot of room between the tyres and the arches at the front.
I could probably fit another 16 inch on to it!
What would you recomend as a reasonably hight to drop it buy. 25m?
