   hi all, bit stuck on what to do, owned a set of 17" wolfrace rush alloys for around 3months now, bought them for around £500, all with top performance tyres. im now wanting to lower my car so this is where i stuck. i know that if i lower it with the 17s on alot of arch work will be required, so do i sell the 17s then get 15s this way no arch work is needed! only trouble is, is how much will my 17s be worth now? i know i wont get what i paid for them but i cant afford to loose to much on them if you know what i mean.

   yeah you shud ask around the £350 mark.
   
   I'd personally go for a set of 16" with low profile tyres would suite the sax just right

    only wanna go around 35 - 50 all round. if it didnt take so much arch work i would keep the 17s as they are nice wheels but on full lock it rubs on standard suspension.
