The ones in my avatar are 18" and they were on the car when I got it, now I have 17" ones.
I guess this gpvr has 18" as well.

Got a pic of your car with the 17's on? What made you change, was the ride too harsh with the lower profile tyres?

Old ones Toora 18"

New ones Evo 7 17"

Yes I changed them because the ride was too hard, its a bit better with 17" but the handling its much better imo. I have coilovers so probably thats what makes the ride so hard anyway.

Those 17 inch Evo rims look miles better than the torra's - neverminding the handling/performance/ride benefits.
