Sanchez Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Look too big imo mate, but may look well with the TOMS kit though, but as said 15s/16s will work on the starlet better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

series70boy Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 i would soo fit those wheels on my ep70, then i would not have to lower it love em, if you decide to get rid over the next couple of months for about the hundred to ahundred and fifty quid area, i would well consider them.keep the tyres good for me i should have a job by then Quote Link to post Share on other sites

series70boy Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 you car will also sit higher though lolthe only reason i would lower my car is so that the arches looked full, and they would be with those wheels although i would probaly end up changing the ride height at some point lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they will fill the arches but it will look shit.You'll also upset the handling and acceleration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ste91 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Small wheels are ftw! But then there's the problem of big brakes fitting under them lol...I'd say 15 inch is probably the best size for Starlets although I wouldn't mind some 14's either. I'd consider going up to 16 inch on the front if it meant using some amazing brakes but that's the only time I'd have anything bigger than 15. (And unless it's a dedicated track car I doubt that would ever be done). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heggers_EP91 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'm with you pal, just gone from 15s to 14s and everything is so much better, acceleration, handling... Wouldn't want to know what 17s would do reallySmall wheels are ftw!
