Good Evening. I got them from The Wheel Deal.com in Melbourne. They are an on-line store with a single shop front that customers can visit. I saved $390 for the set compared to a retail tyre shop here in Brisbane. I went for 16's for a number of reasons. 1. I can swap the 205's from my factory wheels straight on. 2. The tyre size I run is the most common size sold in Straya so tyres are cheaper. 3. I like a slightly thicker sidewall because it suits the 16" rim nicely. 4. The roads I use in Brisbane are literally some of the worst maintained roads I've ever driven on. 5. Running coilovers improves handling but the trade-off is a firmer ride. I'm happy to recommend them based on their service and how helpful they were. I nearly forgot to add that if you go 17" you have a bigger range of widths and offsets. Hopefully this helps. Regards.
Hey thanks for the info more than I expected! I'd like to go 17" but I think it might take away some of the originally of the car and it'll look too wankerish. Cheers ill check it out.
@@jonez08 There is an 05 Tivo in Victoria that's running 17's with a deeper dish but he/she has had to pump the guards slightly to make them sort of fit and the ride height is too high so it doesn't look as good. I'm planning on dropping my ride height by 15mm in the front and 10mm in the rear to get a really nice 1 pinky gap. Thanks for you continued support and comments.
@@jonez08 one small issue. I was told I got the last set of black 16x7's in the country. The supplier wasn't expecting any until July or later. If that's true then I apologise in advance.
That's hot! Cant wait to see them on the car.
Thanks mate.
Very nice. You might notice faster take off with the light weight rims compared to the stock sportivo rims.
Thanks Kevin. I'll have to weigh my factory wheel and tyre to compare.
Very kool dude.
Thanks Folly.
Hi. Just wondering where you got your Enkiei wheels from. Been looking around myself. Tyre joint said I should go 17" but not sure about that?
