    which alloys?

    hey,

    seeing as my cav's being a tinsnail now with its 17's on, does anyone know what other alloys i should go for? im after 5 of 6 spoke rims, any size from 14inch to 17, pref 15-17inch.

    personally, i would love to keep my 17inch kahn rsr 5 spoke's. they are running on 205/40/17do they make 17's that are any skinnier than 205? if so, which ones?

    these are the rims i have currently:


    should i go for:

    1) astra sport 8 spoke 15inch alloys (i know they aint 5/6spoke, but i like them)

    2) astra cesaro 5 spoke 14inch alloys

    3) cavalier sri 6 spoke 15inch alloys

    4) calibra/vectra 5 spoke 15inch alloys

    5) oz racing 5spoke 15inch alloys



    anyone know what other alloys are available? id love a set of 17's, but only if there on 195/40/17. anyone got any pics of any other 5/6 spoke, or alloys that look like the ones above or something??

    cheers

    195/40R17's...

    Personally though, out of those wheels, i prefer the SRi 6 spoke...

    but if he has lowered the cav a nice amount then the 17s will look cool

    i will do so if thats possible. i dont think it is though, as where would the extra 1cm go? (from 205 to 195)? or do the tyres start off fat and get narrower as they go up??
