Given that you own both 16" & 17" Rover alloys your opinions holds a bit of weight. I didn't anticipate the ride or sound levels to be that much different. After all the ZTs ride on 18" wheels and are still credited with having good ride quality.
However a quite ride is important to me. Is the road noise quite noticeable Keith?

Agreed. I had my eye on them when I first brought my 75. But they're next to impossible to find in NZ & the cost of shipping them from England is very expensive.
