Of the 2 choices, I like the sparcos as well. And yes, i am old a prefer a smoother ride. Sell the advantis and paint the sparcos, with the black car, you could go whatever color you wanted. Though the bronze finished would look great. Good luck
Wheels: 17" Advanti vs 15" Sparco
Sharing my wheel/tire combo. Both of these sets came with the car:
Black Advanti Storm Black = 17x8 +35 offset 205/40/R17 (square set-up)
Gold Sparco Trofeo = 15x6 195/50R15 16x6.5 205/45R16 (bigger'n the back)
Local roads are fairly beat-up. Suspension is stock, a bit aged but not horribly so.
Ride quality on the Advanti's is rough with regular rubbing from the front-left. I swapped to the Sparcos, the ride quality is significantly better. I don't have to crawl over speed bumps or live in fear of potholes.
Visually I thought I'd prefer the murdered-out look of the Advanti's. But the Sparcos have grown on me. I wouldn't have picked the color, but it works.
What do you think?
