Arrgghhh it's killing me!!!

... I cannot decide what size of wheels I should get for my summer-tires... I could stay with 6.5x16" and 205x50-16 like I got now... OR I could opt for 7x17" inch with the same size of tires... OR I could go for 7,5x17" rims with 215x40-17 . . . .

With 16" looks might suffer - BUT with 17" - ride/handling might suffer, and thats the last thing I want.. The Cooper with the SSP is good as gold and I dont want to screw that up...

Now the 17's" will look miles better... but how will it handle?? AARRGGHHHH!!! I cannot decide!?!?


Please help! If you've driven a car with SSP and both 16 and 17" wheels - plese let me know what you think...
(as can the rest of you for that matter

Help and hits much wanted.

Tally-hoo!
