You could fit 18” ones from a ZT

You may fit crowns 15" as well.
17 & 18" give a very stiff comfort: take care of your backbone...

17 meteor and serpent wheels make it look a lot more classy. If you want sportier wheels then best to choose from the ZT wheel options as there's not many aftermarket wheels that really suit.

Starspoke! 17", can't go wrong. That's what I have on my 75. I'm afraid you're going to get as many opinions as there are options. Have a good luck at what's on cars for sale to get an idea of the ones you prefer. If you're not sure of the name post up a link and someone on here will identify the name for you.

No it will bring the accuracy in to about 2mph at 70mph. You will see 70 and be doing just a little less say 68-69 mph
