    Go for 15's. They look & handle better than standard

    In my opinion i prefer 15" on my punto rather than 17". 15" also feel alot better and look more tidy.

    17s look good on puntos but u got to drop the ride hight by about 60mm so your car dont look like a tracktor but if u go as low as 60mm on low profiles every bump in the road will break your spine.Lol.ive went for 16s with 195/45/16 toyo's, a 40mm drop, the ride and handling are spot on and it looks the bizness.
