Hi all.

Around christmas time, I want to get some new alloys. I'm thinking 17" or 18" but don't know anything about them. What size do I need for them to fit comfortably on the CC and what are the pros/cons for the 2 sizes? I'd prefer 18's I think but would the car perform badly or anything like that is the sort of thing I need to know.

Also, anyone know where I can get some good wheels and tyres and also have them fitted? I'm in London.

Thanks in advance mates

18's look the nuts...... car drives like shit

17's not considered big alloys anymore

but cant comment on how they affect the cars performance

if ya goin for 18s your gonna be looking at about a grand for alloys n tyres 215/35/18 best place to go is xtreme in harlow or R-tec (but xtreme are miles better in my opinion)

If ya wanna make it look good and dont care about cost of new tyres when ya come to need them etc then go for the 18s, but you'll probably need to lower it too which can require arch work if ya dropping it alot

get me on msn if ya want more info
