Thanks for the input guys this is how it sits now, not so sure how much I like it but it looks better than the very worn stock wheels at least!

Any suggestions on PSI running 17s? I took it out last night and it drives fine albeit a bit of wobble between 60/70 at times (fine above/below) it had new looking weights on the wheels but hopefully a balance will fix this.

tyre pressure will vary depending on tyre size, load ratings, how the car is used, and how it is loaded.

I'd start at around 30PSI front, 33-34PSI rear and go from there.

I really don't like having 32R, feels too low for me. There's definitely an element of personal preference as well as the obvious differences with different tyres, load ratings etc.

Loving the Racing Sparco NS2's! I had a set of 16's which I've always regretted parting company with.

Stock pressures on 17's for me - 29PSI front, 33PSI rear. That's on a 215/40 and 245/40.
