Guest Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Aero's had 17" wheels, but uprated,lowered suspension. My Aero on 17's has a far harsher ride and more road noise than my SE on 17's. I didn't notice too much difference when I went from 16's to 17's on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokinWaffle Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Great cars. Got my 9-3 Saloon 1.9 TiD for £780 with FSH and spotless MOT's. Wonderful cars, surprisingly quick, 50MPG+ on the motorway, comfy, neat little night mode button too. Value for money is through the roof atm. cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
