Reply to "Longchamp aftermarket wheels"

In my opinion, stack the original wheels and tires in the garage, and drive the car on modern rubber. 17" is a dead-end path. Your new tires will need to be in the 18" through 20" range. To purchase 17" tires/wheels in this day simply means they are obsolete before you even mount them. This is not a matter of my personal taste, its just the reality of the market. Besides market considerations, if your goal is improved handling, you'll be ignoring much improvement to settle for 17" wheels.

I would suggest 225/50R18 (4.4" sidewall) or 225/45R19 (3.98" sidewall).

For every 10mm that a tire's cross-section increases, the wheel's offset should increase by 5mm. This keeps the tire's outer sidewall in the same location relative to the fender's edge.
