Hi all-
I'm here in Colorado, and have decided to pick up an extra set of wheels for winter tires. I've done a bit of reading on people upgrading their 16" Leaf wheels to 17" Jukes (and the associated performance advantages to doing that), but I don't see much info comparing the 17" Leaf wheels to the 17" Jukes.
I expect to be driving more miles with the summer/all-season tires on, and less miles with the winter tires on. So I guess my first thought would be to pair whichever wheels are marginally better with the summer tires. Any thoughts on that? I'd add that I don't expect any huge performance differences, either in range or in handling, but I WOULD like to use the better wheels for more miles. For what it's worth, I do prefer the aesthetics of the 17" Leaf wheels over the Juke wheels.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Rob
