Which wheels for my V8S

[z_chromozone]

Hi,

The time has come when my old wheels are looking a bit tatty. With my respray nearly complete I was thinking of what to do with them. I do love the design of the 8 spokes, but they are only 15" and finding tyres for them is becoming harder every year in a Z rating. The 15" wheels I have also have clearance problems with the balance weights fouling my larger calipers. I thought I would think about an upgrade.

So, what do you all think. Do I go for 16", or 17" wheels. What style will look good on my V8S. Has anyone got any tyre recommendations. Better still has anyone got some pics to show.

Ideally I would like a style that was not a complete pain in the ass to clean.

Oh and some idea of the cost would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Z

I've got 10 spoke 17" wheels on mine fitted with Goodyear Eagle F1s (225/45 on rear and 215/45 on front - don't know why different it just came that way). The wheels are easy to clean as the spokes are far enough apart and wonderwheels in a 3:1 mix is great. The ride is firmer than with higher profile tyres but not massively so. Pics are on my website
