Picture request: 480's with 16" or 17" wheels

Post by hebruins » Mon May 09, 2005 3:31 pm

I'm looking for some new wheels for my 480 turbo, but not sure yet on size and model (was after a set of 16" 850 T5 replicawheels but that didn't work out :( )

So: pictures of a 480 with 16" or 17" wheels, if you have some, just post them here :D

How much loss of comfrt is there with the bigger wheels and the lowering set? (seeing at the cars posted above are lowered ;))
