17" too big? Got Any pics?

Post by max »

Hi,
I've seen a set of 17" alloys I like, but I don't know if 17" is just too big for an e21?
Pics would be good if you've got any?
Cheers, Max

I think 16" are a better compromise, but there are always exceptions. A lot of it goes down to the type of wheels too IMHO.
