    wheel & tyre woe's

    Click here to enlarge

    had my heart set on the Lenso's in a 17 inch for my car, however when i saw them in the flesh they kinda suck because all the promo shots are of an 18 inch wheel so the 17's just look kinda poxy.

    so problem now is,

    nobody in QLD will supply 18's for the barina, because its a huge fine because theyre not load rated correctly, and have an extra 29mm rolling diameter. (also 2 demerits and $200 per corner if you get caught).

    cant find any nice 17's, because they all look like aftermarket dodgy type wheels. (why does nobody just do a nice OEM looking basic 5 spoke wheel anymore)

    and the 16's i recall last time i had to buy some 195/45/16's they were over $300 a tyre, and current investigatino also finds me at least $240 each for bridgestones or anything half decent.

    what has everyone got on their cars? what tyres have most of you got on the standard 16's? or is everyone running aftermarket 17's etc?

    really keen to find a solution soon, because i want to put them on when my eibach's get fitted Click here to enlarge

    haha, yes am well aware of tempe tyres,

    off balance unround chrome wheels spring to mind Click here to enlarge

    problem i have however is that in QLD if you put 18's its 8 demerits & $800 if pulled over, i'd rather save my demerits for something more purposeful.

    Ive got 17" advanti medusas on mine and i love the look (they certainly dont have any factory look about them tho lol).

    Im happy with the ride too, its pretty hard but not too uncomfortable.
