I am looking to change my 17inch webspokes on dunlop runflats for a black (matt pref) wheel with non runflats that are good for everyday but also the ocassional track day

Debate whether to stick with 17's or go for 18's then find a good looking wheel, then some decent non runflat rubber

Car in 2008 S works eith sports suspension

Advice greatly appreciated

Stick with 17s would be my advice

Ant FR · May 1st, 2008, 09:36 AM

stick with 17's

look at the team dynamics pro race 1.2 in mat black. Very nice even if i do say so mysefl. Lohen have em on all the cars now bar the origional track one i think.

Any what tyres to go with the 17@s 215 or stick 205@s then what profile and brand

Getting there, Cheers!

i stuck with standard size, soo n gen 1 MCS its 205 45 17. And i was recommended Vredestein, winners of pretty much most of the recent mags tyre test or at least top 2. They have been great , so grippy and so smooth

We have a 2007 R56 MCS JCW with Sport Suspension and 18" JCW R105 wheels and I've just fitted four Yokohama Prada Spec 2 tyres and I love 'em!

The tyres are 215/40 R18 and fill out the arches really nicely on the R56 which has a lot of daylight under the arches.

We're in St.Albans, Hertfordshire. So if you want to see what this wheel and tyre combo' looks and drives like, then you are more than welcome to pop round.

Tara +Paul Oh you dont accept PM's i see!

I live in Harpenden so wouldnt mind taking you up on your offer to have a look at them > Same wheels would look great on my PW/black works

Like your number plate too - Ive got W8RKS going on to mine soon but want some decent wheels + rubber to finish it off At moment got 17 inch Webspokes which look good but have craving for black wheels
