Hi All,
Can anyone explain the benefit of fitting 18" alloys onto my 20vt coupe instead of the original 16". Also is ther any adjustment required for this change?
regards Howsie

there is no advantage other than the look go 17 with 45s at most if you want to keep from feeling every pot hole on your rims along with increased road noise

If you're a bit more driver-oriented you'll appriciate the quick reactions of lower-profile wheels, I know I do. Great when you steer away from those potholes. smile

Iv just gone from 18s to 16s it is way more comfortable but doesn't get the looks like it did riding on the 18s.

my old one has got 18" fox RS1's and looks the mutts nuts imo.

My new coupe has standard wheels and as above, it just doesn't get the looks like my old one did.
saying that i'm in two minds to change them over as the new ride is very smooth compared to the rubber band tyres on my 18's
