..on 17 inch rims?
I have just acquired some Serpents at the right price

but I'm dubious about fitting them in place of the smaller wheels on at present. I don't really want to lose the comfortable ride.

Hi Bernard,

Not harsh at all on my Starspokes I don't think, nice and smooth in general but I've been told causes 75's to handle better than on 16's?

Zeb's driven mine so would be interesting to get his opinion also.

Hope this helps.

Jake

If I'm honest I couldn't really tell the difference between the ride with the 15" crowns on LJay and the 17" Serpents I have got on MOA. Others do however say they noticed a big difference, strange one!

I noticed a difference (well the wife did) and resulted in putting the 16" Spoked alloys back on which she noticed straight away.
To me the difference was only marginally harder.

17" wheels go round corners much more nicely....ride hardness? Harder but perfectly liveable... :thumbsup:

Mmmm! Conflicting opinions there, but no surprise I suppose.

Trouble is by the time I've re-furbed them and bought a new set of rubber, it becomes an expensive experiment to find out for myself.

If I want a hard ride then I get into the V8, so it's nice to get the contrasting experience all round.

i'm on 17" but never had any others on also not been in many other 75's ZT's to compare . but to me the ride seems ok on mine :thumbsup:
