Default What do you think? 17"'s on my uk Wagon classic

Chaps and ladies

I really fancy a set of the later wrx alloys on my classic wagon, like the grey effect ones, I understand im upgrading from 16" to 17" will this effect the driving charactristics/ride dramatically?

I've uploaded a couple of pics if any would be kind enough to photoshop a set of these rim on it pretty please?

anyone running a classic with this wheels, any comments or pics of classics with these rims on gratefully recieved!

Had a set on my 98 wagon. Handling improved no end and they looked like they belonged on the car, unlike some aftermarket alloys.

New Age wheels do look the nuts on classics, particularly wagons

Picking up new new 17" alloys today, cant wait to put them on, so I'll be moving on my old rims, good overall condition a few very minor scuffs on outer rims (careless previous owners) with 3/4mm of tread still on nokian 205/50/16 - what price do you think I should ask?
