    The perfect wheel.

    Whats the best wheel to be running then?

    By that i mean, size, width and offset. Ive been looking at a few wheels to replace the turinis but keep coming accross annoying circumstance, either too thin or not the right offset!

    Whats best to run then?

    for a williams / valver then i think its...

    15" J7 ET36 on a 195/50/15 or 195/45/15 tyre.

    each to their own n all!

    Need to be running a 45 profile for sure. Been looking at some ET25 on 7J though. Might stick out a little too far though?

    Considered some 6J rims, but i decided they were too thin

    yeah true but tbh its too harsher ride, 55 is too spongy, 45 is too hard n sketchy, 50 is just right!

    You girl

    Im thinking more clearance in the arches too. But 45 is my preffered profile.

    Might go for some winter rims and run a 50 profile but for summer i would like 45s
