Good Morning!
I was looking on the internet for a new set of wheels for my blue marathon RB . Unfortunately , I have found nothing `s interesting. I like the bronze color well . I think it would make a lovely blue / bronze combo. I `ve had black wheels in the past on my 04 ` Mustang , and I 'll never buy black! It `s very messy. Gray color , I think it `s too neutral . So I think my choice is made for the bronze color.
Good! the next question! 16 inches or 17 ? I have bought my car with 14 inches. I know people say go to the 205/50R16 instead of 195 /50 cause apparently with 195/50 the speedometer does not give the correct reading. So if my choice should be made with the 16 inch , I'll take 16x7 mounted with 205/50R16 .
BUT ! I `ve started to see several members with 17 inches. So now I'm confused . Since it `s not there in the official size 17 inches for our Accent, TireRack recommends putting 205/40R17 on 17x7 . But to my taste, of thickness 40 is too much. I live in Quebec and God knows how our roads are in bad conditions. I also plan to lower the suspension this summer and I am skeptical as 17 inches for this purpose.
Guys, can you help me in my choice of wheels? Any idea will be more than welcome! :)
