On the verge of purchasing these wheels for the bb4. Thought

Don't worry about brand yet, just style & colour. Not a great selection, but gives you an idea of what looks good, & what looks gash! Hope it's of some help. (I like 1, 7, 17, 19, 26, or 27 personally) ;)

Let us know what numbers you like the look of & we'll see what's about innit. 8-)

And here comes indigolemon, with a spanner to throw right in the works!

If you're only after looks, then yes - 17's. If you want any kind of comfort and handling, you really want to be looking at 16's. 15 is stock for a 4th gen, and on 17's the tyres are so thin it's a bit crashy and does love to tramline.

Just a FYI :)

That looks like a good wheel/car generator.

You didn't post enough examples though? :P

I personally find the ride on 17's to be just fine; not crashy at all. I've got 205/45 R17's on mine. If you're running 18's, 35, or 40 then yes it starts to get a bit uncomfortable. But plenty of people run this sizing without any negative reports.

Also 205 is about right I'd say. If you start going wider to 215, 225, or above, then yes it does track quite badly & makes steering quite heavy.

Horses for courses I suppose. :)

I run 17's with no problems, not crashy and it doesn't tramline.
I also agree that those wheels are a bit too euro for a 'Lude, but if you like the look then do it, hell I flocked my front bumper - it really is all about your own preference mate :)
