This might seem a odd postBut I’ve only had my gti6 on the road for 6 months last year and only run it in 17 inch alloy,so today Ive change to my 15 inch track alloys and tyres OMG the difference is night and day,it turns in better,accelerates better Just overall loads better,only down fall is it doesn’t look as good as the 17 inch alloys ________________________________________ Road/track car coming together slowly |

Yeah 17s i can imagine being awful. I like 16s though. Especially with 205 width tyres with 45 height on them Amazing lateral grip on roundabouts ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I got no issues with the 17's. Plenty of grip and looks great. The 40 profile can feel a little harsh though on rough roads________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

When I put on my Lions, my radiator burst right away. Don't know if already weak or caused by extra vibration________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |

I'd say it was weak. I got 17s and have had for years and pretty firm coilovers and that's not a problem I've had________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I've run 15" 16" and 17" (also Lions) 15" running 195 55 15 tyres are much kinder on the ride for standard roads 16" (195 50 16 tyres) are more rigid but I like the go-kart feel 17" (205 40 17" tyres) look awesome but are propper bone shakers I blame them for the interior rattles my car has developed over the years  I've not had the Lions on the car for over 8yrs Still wrapped in Toyo T1-S's ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |
