Hi all,
My housemate has unbelievably buckled two of the 18" wheels on her 2009 awd V70 in the last couple of days. I think she is inexplicably drawn to potholes.
So we're currently looking for either a set of 18" wheels or alternatively a set of 17" wheels which there seem to be more of.
What is there to consider if she decides to go with 17" wheels? Do we need to get tyres with thicker sidewalls to maintain same diameter for speedometer accuracy? Seems like these may be a good choice given her tendancies as they will likely be more resistant to buckling.
If anyone is selling a set of wheels that may be suitable around Newcastle/Sydney let me know.
Cheers
