GT 16" Alloys
Is it worth getting the Alfa GT 17" supersport alloys. They certainly look
nice but it seems that the standard 16" alloy wheels produce a smoother ride and are cheaper when it comes to replacing the tyres. I've not been able to directly compare the two so I'd be really grateful for any opinions on this. Thanks |

16" look awfull, that alone was enough reason for me to choose the 17"

>> 16" cheaper tyres - yes
>> 16" smoother ride - yes >> 16" look cool - nope You have to say that bigger are the alloys (and tyres, of course) better is the handling/stability. I think 17'' it's the best deal, 18'' look great and the car is *glued* to the road but you loose something in top speed, and replacing tyres will cost *a lot* much than 17''. -- Jacopo Prato, Italia -- Sportwagon 2.5 V6 24V Distinctive Join the Club! www.alfasport.net -- |

It's certenly worth to get the 17" alloys. You will have more grip and it
looks even better. The price of 215R16/45 is the same as 215R17/45. You can even put on 225R17/45, they are the same price. I have them myself and I'm very satisfied.
