i just brought a 5 with 17" wheels....i hate them desperatly looking to exchange for some 15's, a little gap around the wheels is not a bad thing if your gonna anything in the back heavier than a packed lunch :)

lol you haven't seen the size of my packed lunch, i usually have a flat bed follw me to work so my boot is free

but seriously though i dont like big wheels

but they are a tad too small

thanks for the welcome :) i was told when i bought it that it had been lowered slightly but looking at the springs they have seen better days and defo in need of replacing so i've just been reading up on here for advice an the koni yellows seem to be the best 1s to go for?
yellow..i think i see you go past pretty much daily in your megane if thats you? megane looks awesome especially in that colour
