What would you guys suggest as some cheap 17 inch rims for the FTO? I wouldve liked Racinghart RS721s but I can only find them in 19s, and are quite expensive. Looking to spend about 700 for the set. Ideas?

18s are a little big.. are those the big silver ones you have on at the moment? if so, no thanks, im looking for more racing/performance type rims, not "bling" type chromies :mrgreen:

If the profile on the rims are correct there should be no overall size difference between the two - the larger the rim the smaller the tyre.

Yeah what I mean is that I dont want huge rims, I dont really fancy the look of anything over about 17s on an FTO personally. Also, thoughts?
