Curious to see a coupe with 17" wheels?

[couttsdesign]

I know for most of you it's heresy to go bigger than 16", but I have never actually seen a coupe with 17" wheels and I'm just curious.

If anyone out there is rolling on 17's, please can you provide a picture?

Thanks

17's

I don't know where my Concorso shots went to, but I found one that Arde took that day that has a bit of my car in it. Thanks to the search function of this site you can see my fjord '74 just ahead of, and to the right of Arde's verona coupe there on the lawn. Red is still such a great color on a coupe....

They're 17" BBS wheels and they look okay and track fine. Rolled fenders up front and small spacers. I think if I drove my car more, and more agressively - as I plan to in the future - I'd go 16's again or even 15's with a suspension set up like PJ's car. As in low.

You can't go wrong with properly staggered 16's. I like the BBS RS model personally and Alpinas always look good. Not many 17's are sized for a coupe and virtually none are available that don't need spacers.
