yeah there the ones. iv only ever had 17's in the past but with these tiny ones i cant get the tyres that i want, plus the brake dust on the gold is over obviouse.

Brake dust will always be there, but a better quality compound normally does the trick.
What tyres do you want, I have never had a problem finding the correct profile/width/diameter for 16's?
18's may cause rubbing issues, you could wreck the arches by rolling them to run a wider profile or run concrete springs. As said nowt wrong with gold.

Wouldn't go bigger then 17's on classics IMO
Also nothing wrong with Gold, if brake dust is excessive then change the pads and try a different brake compound!

I am leaning more to 17's. It's not the excessive brake dust it's just that it shows up like a bit#h lol. Plus my current alloys are destroyed and need refurbing beyond belief
The car is black btw.
