As much as I like the look of 17's in the back of my mind I'm always aware that they're no good for winter, and as I don't have a bodykitted MK2 I don't feel tied down to having 17's.
I missed out on a couple of Grids on Ebay over the past few months but I saw these instead.

Now I'll admit, I wasn't feeling it when I fitted them, but I thought I'll give it a try.
General driving is now awesome, I now have a better turning circle and acceleration has improved.

All opinions welcome.

Look OK, surprising what a difference they make.

:wave:

[petet16]

I've seen worse, I think they look alright.

[stamford]

They are okay, bigger diameter would probably look better against the wheel arch, as long as you are happy then all's good. :thumbsup:

[Smokey]

Nice style of wheel.

[fatdave]

i quite like em

[Dan1971]

Not for me to be honest - and fail to see that they would improve acceleration and your turning circle in such a way that you'd notice ..... :confused:

[POMPSKI]

I like them, different but in a good way.

[coreygraham180]

i quite like it as well just looks that wee bit diffrent

[Alan.F]

the17 inch streetwise alloys suit them better than the 16 ones

I do like them but agree with Dan on the turning circle thing.

I can see that they could improve acceleration if the tyres are better or you have an overall smaller rolling circumerance. On the flipside of that you would have a lower cruising speed and worse fuel consumption.

Mate of mine at work runs an old BMW M3 and has a set of winter tyres on 16" rims and a set of summer tyres on 17" rims, I'm sure he isn't alone.

not my cup of tea im afraid but each to there own, as long as your happy with them thats all that matters. although i have to agree with dan i too cant see how they'd make that much of a difference for you to notice! sorry

Other halfs.

I think it looks good. Reminds me of my 1st ZS, mk2 110. That had mirage alloys and 45 mudflaps and was an absolute minter. And the turning circle was much smaller than my 180. I remember how shocked I was at the 180 turning circle after driving a 110.

[dida4g]

My other half drives the ZS quite regular and like me prefers to reverse parallel park at supermarkets, for her the better turning circle is like night and day and she said 'it's more chuckable in corners."

[ZS Phil]

I think the shape suits the Mk2, good choice and a bit different.

[andy-81]

i'm abit un decided to be honest :hmmm:

[drewesq]

Tidy! They're the streetwise wheels, right?
