Which are better
I'm looking at new wheels for my classic and was wondering which size would be better?
17" x 7.0"
OR
17" x 7.5"
What about tyre's on either of these?
Thanks Claire

The P1 on 18's was not the best choice accordinging to the press at the time of launch. 18's will increase the unsprung weight, lower the profile and give a harsher ride beacuse of this, less wall to absorb the bumps.
OE Speedline Prodrive Flow Forming 7 spoke (PFF7's) are very light compared to the Redline Replicas and cost three times as much.

That's what I am saying, depending on the maker the wheel could be light or heavy. Most people prefer 17's over 18's on a Classic.
The tyres are less prone to damage and absorb bumps better as they have a larger side profile. OE PFF's are very light, they cost £1800 as an option for the Newage with 225/40/18 Pirelli P Zero Nero's from a dealer. Inovit Redlines will cost £409 a set of four wheels. Even with tyres your looking at a 1/3rd of the cost.
It depends on how much you want to spend and quality you want. Buy cheap and pay twice sometimes.
