thanks to all for the helpful info. one thing i did not mention which is important,is that this is a turbo look car/body. i see that there are more tires available for the 17" than 16" obviously but at what cost. limited tire suppliers or possibly quality of construction? euro's made in Italy vs. rota's made in Philippines using older technology. i can probably get either to work with my assortment of spacers however. i believe that our host is now offering both items and feel confident that they would only offer us r/d quality before going public. i will reference the before mentioned forum as well. thanks again to all.
