Whats the best size wheels for a 9N?

Post by AKs_SlickPolo »

Ive ordered some 15'' wheels for my 9N. But am now thinking that these may look too small.
Im wanting to keep it Euro-style if possible, and aint really a fan of 17s. So its kind of between 15's and 16's. what do you lot reckon? what size wheels suit a 9N best???

16's would probably look pretty nice, it's a bit bigger than the 6N2 so yeah.

I'll say 16's :D

I was originally debating on weather to go for 17s or 16s (to upgrade on my current 14" alloys!) but I heard many stories of 17" alloys relating to poor ride quality and tyre/road noise.

Im just about to order these BBS replicas, 16".

btw, these are 7.5 wide 16s with an offset of ET35. Would you guys think there would be a problem running them / scrubbing on a -60mm drop? afaik i think it should be fine, but just double checking. thanks
