Suggestions welcome :joshers:
personally thats really stupid. the only people who do that are normally rim manufactors tryn to show off their latest rims so they'll have the same size and offset on the rims but put different ones on either side of the car.

would be a nice way to get people to think you own two similar cars.

at least that makes more sense (more so on RWD cars) some times people want the stock size for racing but still want a different rim look so they'll install a size bigger in the rear giving the car a lower appearance since its slanted forward

i road on DTM 6 spokes last summer, but the fronts were 16s and the rear were 17s.

I did this only cuz i used to have all 16s, then i cracked one driving through a pothole in chicago. So i didnt want to buy juss one 16, so i bought a couple of 17s for the rear.

Damn...now i dont know what to do...i'll see how it looks, i have so many rims in my basement..
