anup67 Posted October 21, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 15s all the way mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 15s and lower it dude..17s will look silly and it won't handle right either! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy689 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 14's ftw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted October 21, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 id never put 17's on a starlet! way too big, 14's or 15's FTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CRaZyKiD Posted October 23, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
glanza97 Posted October 23, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
CRaZyKiD Posted October 23, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
