anup67 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 i was first thinking of geting 15" wheels on my starlet but i would have 2 get lowering springs for it to look good, im thinking of getting 17" wheels now. I dont mind 16" rims either,but their hard to find. i only have £150 to spend on alloys because my mum said she'll pay for it ;)what do you think????Anup Quote
DavidAshton Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 17"z dont be daft lad, get 15's save up and lower it. Quote
laurenceharding Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 i reckon get some nice 16" 's mate. 17" my look abit silly on a small car, but if you choose the right 17" 's you may be able to pull off a good look. but its 16" for me ;) Quote
Amjad Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 15s and lower it dude..17s will look silly and it won't handle right either! Quote
Russleh Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 if your not getting 15s because youll have to lower it then 17s will be just as pointless giving you the whole roller skate look. 17s can look good though if done properly. Quote
bucketep91 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 id never put 17's on a starlet! way too big, 14's or 15's FTW Quote
lukerobz Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 deffo get 15s dude save up and lower it maybe 16s! but 17s would look silly and chavie! Quote
Sparky Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 If you want your car to look like a roller skate get 17s :harhar: Quote
anup67 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Posted October 22, 2009 LOOOOOOLLL JOKESSSSSSalright!!! ill get 15's....but i have around £110 (not including rims money) i was saving up for a anti-roll bar :harhar: i dont wanna spend that on lowering springs, because then i have to buy uprated shocks aswell Quote
DavidAshton Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Shame your so far down south ive got some wanger 14's here and only want £20 for em, would put you on for a bit. Quote

CRaZyKiD Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 I've had 16 on mine, they rock.. handle really well and i'd say its a good balance between style and performance.. ( the photo in my avatar )CK Quote
glanza97 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 ive got 17"s but am getting some 16"'s... 17"s are a little too big for my liking.. Quote
CRaZyKiD Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 What about for handling though Glanza97? My intentions are to get 17" To be honest, i have 15's on mine at the moment, which will be comming off as they simply look to small and they certainly dont handle as good as my 16" did.. sold the 16"s though.. bugger... However, onwards and upwards... 17" next.. ill let you know how i get on:)Enzo has had 17's on athena before.. looked smart as hell.. just dont know about the suspension or the handling.. Maybe he could shine a light on that:)CK Quote

CRaZyKiD Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Nah, standard suspension mate! Do you want to see a picture for looks wise? I sold mine to my friend and im not sure if she would sell them.. but it would be for more than £150 anyaway bud.CK Quote

CRaZyKiD Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 no buddy.. I will be upgrading my suspension when i get the 17's.. most likely just after they are on. See what happens but it will definately be getting upgraded. Quote
