    Iv looked at so many pics I just can't decide. Some alloys do some don't lol. Iv got 19" fronts and 20" Rears but I'm looking to drop down a size or too and make it a bit more user friendly.
    What's people's opions as it a be a daily car and iv got 8month twins lol

    Cheers

    Pics are welcome XD

    Im going down from 19 to 18. !9s dont look big but i dont think 18s look small. 17s would though.

    If youre worried go for a concave style rim with spokes that go to the edge, they look bigger than dished wheels.

    I think this is down to what you class as 'looks good' for me, Im yet to see 20" wheels be pulled off and look good. Some 19's work if you stagger the fronts down a size. Me personally I prefer a 17/18 combo. I wouldnt ever go bigger than a 18 more so for tyres.

    I used to run 18's on the front until I started to smash wheels whilst drifting. Since fitting 17's and bigger profile its been taking the rumble strip impact nicer. I wouldnt consider running 18 up front again though, for me.. 17 up front is ideal ;)

    18 on the rear, 17 on the front of that one ^

    Basically what Mint is saying is if it's low enough it'll look sweet whatever size wheels you put on it. (nb: provided you get the width & offset right).

    18's

    I'm all for 18" all round... Or depending on the kit, you can run the staggered 18-19" setup.

    running 18's on mine and that seems to be the norm. I'm not sure I'd want to run larger in the UK especially with our quality roads

    This is the actual look sweet
    I don't think that more than 18 is needed here
