will look like a sack of with 17"'s on
jst to say that i've jst fitted the 15" oz wrapped with 195/50
sure i get in performance and comfort..
but it doesnt feel as stable as the 17"
with the 17" i've done 185km/h..tbh not sure i'll do it with the 15"s
or mayB its just that am on yet used to it..will get some pictures soon..but the rims need a good paint job

17" Wheels tend to wear away the back bumper mounts.
Another reason to NOT put them on as your heart will be broke sorting this

many moons ago when i had my very first glanza i put 17's on with tein coilies had no trouble at all, but i wouldnt do it 15 or 16's ftw!!!!
Off subject i had 17's on the impreza with 215/45 tyre got me 18's with 215/35 so the rolling circumfrance is exactly the same when you put em side by side and there is no difference at all in acceleration only that the ride is a lil harsher due to the lower sidewalls of the tyre

Nothing annoys me more than people who give advice about something they clearly know nothing about.
If you want 17's then go for it. If you are that concerned about the performance then get yourself a set of superlight weight 17's. You will pay through the nose for them but they will be lighter than most run of the mill 15" alloys so outright performance will not be any different to that of a starlet with 15" alloys. Sure, handling will be a lot different but most people on this thread seem to think that bigger alloys only effect straight line speed and accelaration.

Ive got 17's on my Glanza only cause i got them for £70 off a mate, but i am gonna get some Rota GT3's soon as i got the funds
But i aint a chav or gay cause ive got 17's reason being is cause they was cheap, but i personally think they look nice on my Glanza
i have no rubbing issue either, but soon as i fitted them i did noticed a big difference in slower accelleration........
