Look fine to me!  :happy2:
Cars can often drive better with slightly smaller wheels. That extra sidewall will suit our roads better and you've lowered the un-sprung weight which is good.

Personally i think the Ch work best as 18 or 19.

For 17 id stick with the Monza.

19"s  :drool:

Don't think the 17s look bad and probably a little less bumpy.

Too small when you compare them with what 18'' and 19'' look like.

17'' is a good size for a daily driver, especially if you have to go through bad roads, but the bigger sizes are better aesthetically.

If you really have to have 17''s, keep them. :happy2:

Thanks for the replies....

Its not that I have to keep them, they were a good price and i initially planned to stick them on my wifes touran anyway.
