Hi Everyone,
I would like to ask a question about the very emotive subject of wheels. I have seen from the many threads that the vast majority of owners seem to go for the 19 or 20" wheel upgrade. Am I the only one who has experienced the heartbreak of getting just too near to a kerb and making your £1000 wheel option look decidedly second-hand? Even with 18" wheels it is quite soul destroying spending months trying to preserve the look of your wheels, only to have one rushed manoeuvre scuff them to bits. I cover over 20K per year, and this result is almost inevitable. With anything over 17" you only have to breathe near a kerb and the wheels are scratched.....or is this just me????
N.B. There is still time for me to "upgrade" as my car is not due for build for a while.
