I always felt the standard 16" were just a bit too small (aesthetically) Do you get any rubbing on full lock? Are they catching on the rear? i assume that's what you meant by "scratching"

I think the 16s look OK on original coupes with black sills, but with the LE/plus kit I think the car needs bigger wheels. Those 19s do look the business! Incidentally, I was parked next to a new Jag F-Pace recently that had massive 22 inch wheels. My coupe looked like a toy car by comparison. It reminded me just how small the coupe is by modern standards. 1998 Steel Grey 20V Turbo

Handling suffered a little bit,because the car is almost 1 cm higher then before.But this is definitely not a race setup.So when you want to go really "wild" its better to have smaller wheels.17" is i think perfect for that purpose.Tires are lot cheaper and you are closer to the ground.

I've always been a fan of +2 on standard but you've pushed it out to +3 and done it nicely. Well done.

Nello Unregistered N	I think the OE 16" wheels are fine as long as the car is lowered. If not they just look lost in the abyss of a wheel arch.....

Nello Unregistered N	Whilst we're on the subject - does anyone know of any car previous to the LE that came with factory 'darkened' Alloys?
