Morning, I’ve been doing some research into aftermarket wheels.

I have came to the conclusion that 16s are the best bet for ride quality and handling.

Does anyone have any advice.

Attached is an image of the wheels I’m looking at. Yeah or Neigh?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180526/a4de94970bee9de5a11260d083300e63.jpg

As long as you like them then that’s all that matters.

SR are a stunning wheel imo. I would say you need 17s on the f56. I think 16s would look really small even 17inch tds look a little small on the f56

Agreed that 16” wheels would look lost on the F56. 17” is a good compromise

New wheels came, but only 3 out of 4 arrived! After a 500mile round trip today I got my cash back, don’t ever order from a specific online wheel shop!

Company in question was wheelbase! Never Again! Lesson learned, order straight from manufacture next time.

Sometimes these things happen but it can be frustrating especially when ‘we’ all want things to run smoothly. Just like all 10 minute jobs that take 2 hours !!!
If you’re looking for wheels why not give the boys at Skidz in Falkirk a shout. They’re always happy to help and usually very good at putting a deal together. It’s usually the first place I go now ... and if something isn’t right they’re good at sorting it.
