    Smile 850 t5 wheel options

    hi, right chaps i have now owned my t5 for a few weeks but due to moving house all fettling has been on hold , however now that her in doors is happy with the decor and carpets etc... it time to begin.

    lets start off with a decent set of wheels, only want to go upto 17 as i dont want to upset the handling and have always been keen on multispoked alloys and absolutley loved the oz super t`s i had on the old cossie but not sure whether multispoked would suit the 850 so now the time has come for you to show off !!!!!and show me you 850`s wheels to give me some insperation, cheers the woodster!

    Not mine, i prefer s70's, although if i could find an 850 for sale that looks like that i'd most probably buy it!

    oh decisions, decisions, i ilke the comets in 17 , if i were to go with 18`s would i have to run a 215/35/18 or would something bigger fit the arches (allowing for a 30-40mm drop) also whats the best size for the 17`s had to use 205 /40s on the cossie because of poor clearance under the arches , would 215`s or 225`s fit the volley?

    thanks lads keep em comming!
