    Default 20' W427 replicas or 22' G8s?

    I have a Red passion VE berlina lowered all round on ultras. Keen to get a new set of wheels for her. Should I go 20' W427 replicas or 22' G8s cant make up my mind.
    let me know what you think.
    Oh and will these fit with no mods?

    leave the G8s on the shelf. Not a fan. Don't like either wheel to be honest - but really not a fan of the G8s - and nothing in 22.

    Everyone says that bigger is better but recently I've look at every VE with 22s and thought it looked shit regardless of what style wheel it was.

    20s are ideal in my opinion. Right size, enough sidewall for grip, legal and don't make the car look like a tractor.

    As mentioned above, 20" is about the right size for VE's. Anything bigger compromises handling/ ride and smaller looks... well, smaller! Also, 20" tires are reasonably cheap nowadays.

    Back in my day when my mum got a set if 17s in her Stato they were massive. 20s were unheard of.
