Standard speedline alloys, referb or buy 17s?

[Broody 0]

My tyres go down, every two weeks i have to pump them up. I have had them checked for punches and havent got any nails or anything, even had one of the tyres off and i wire-brushed and cleaned the inside of the alloy myself it still goes down.

So for xmas my parents have said they'd give me £100 toward getting them re-frubed, sand blasted, and looking like new.

Should i do this or save and buy some 17's?

I cant afford to lower my car so maybe it'd look silly with 17s and never lowered?

Anyone got any ideas?

It will cost about £200 to do the whole set of speedlines.. alot of people like to keep them on or have them as a spare set to the 17's.

I put a set of 17's (TT's) on mine without lowering and it looked ok - not silly.. eventually I lowered once saved up some more cash and it doesn't look better..

I personally think 17's are too big for a C, and 16's suit it loads better, especially some nice Borbets or BBS's 8)
