   You need 50 posts to edit your posts...
   Them alloys are gash. They will rub, even with 40 profile tyres...

   15" would be good with 195 45 15 tyres.
   Not too big, not too small - just right!

   Why not get hold of a set of the VTR alloys?? They'll be a direct fitment without any mods at all. Or you could fit a set of the VTS if you wanted a slightly larger alloy (VTR - 14", VTS - 15")

   hmmm i dont really like the look of the VTR or VTS alloys.
   
   looks like i mite end up having some 15" alloys if thats the biggest i can have without modifications.

    If you have 3k to spend on a furio - why not use the cash to buy (& insure) a Vtr or Vts!

    15's would look best maybe some team dynamics pro 1.2s or oz superturismo alloys.

    Fair enough mate. I would personally get 15's. 17's are a no no imo. Then get it lowered and then just detail it how you like

    I've got 15's on mine with 195/45/15's and its dropped 60mm. the only thing is it rubs a little on the front when on full lock but its only the front arch liners.

    Search on here for examples of track slags. Basically means that anything that not needed is ripped out of the car...

    I always think subtle mods look the best, then you could get some nice engine work done, but at the least breathing mods like a decent filter, manifold etc
