Sega Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Tbh mate big wheels dont help either unless you have High profile tyres, get yourself some nice 15s with a decent but normal profile tyre and you should do well as the 15 wheel is the best for handling on this car.

s88hon Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I went for the 16's running on 205/45/16 and the mb handled lovely.. being a badge whore, I wanted 17's and 205/40/17 were put on to fit the brakes I had..16's all day long, but limitations i find if you run high HP for brakes..

jalesi2001 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 17's look perfect especially when lowered, they really fill the arches very well, however they can suffer from uneven tyre wear unless you shell out for camber kits and 4 wheel alignments!! 16's are a good compromise!! Those wheels seem quite cheap, nice find bud!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
