V50 Wheels/Tyres : 17" instead of 18"

[kopite]

I want rid of my 18" BBS alloys that came on my SE sport purely for cheaper tyres and more comfort.
I want the 17's that come on the V50 R-Design (what are they called?) will I experience any problems or difficulties?
Can't believe I've gone sensible, the BBS look gorgeous!

Apparently mine are called BBS Medea, will be up for sale as soon as replacements are found

I did exactly the same thing on my V50 Sport. I managed to swop my 18" Medusa alloys for a set of the first alloys pictured which are 17" Cratus and the second pic ones are called Serapis, also 17".

Hope this helps you.

I think it's the second ones cheers!

Shame as I've just sold a set of the Serapis ones actually!

I prefer the Serapis alloys but the ones I bought weren't as good as they were supposed to be so I sold them on again. My Cratus alloys came off a 24hr old C30 so they looked immaculate and still do so I think I'm going to stick with them after all.

How much did they sell for?

[Lee '71]

Sold them for £455 including delivery. They had tyres with them that had 4-5mm of tread too.
