I vote for best cordia I've seen so far. I don't like the wheels, but the ride height/clean tidy finish is spot on. congrats

better doesn't necessarily mean $ spent or effort put in. sometime the best things are the simplest.

hear hear ox!gen. i know the rims arent your cup of tea but i reckon being gunmetal grey/black they suit the car very well. its a big improvement on the 3 spokies he used to have anyways.

of course, theres no point having a schmik cordie if mechanical troubles prevents you from cruising, right brando?? :wink:

what can i say. I don't like big wheels. :)

anything over 16" on a cordia = bad.
anything over 17" on a cordia = very bad
15" = just right. ah.
16" = bling, but still good.
14" = fairly stealth but a little too small to look good
13" = props to the stealthness. unprops to looks.
imnsho.

don't think i say all that because I could only afford 15"s. I could have had 17s for the same $. I opted for 15s because they look better. not as showy, but i value art over bling. so sue me.

/off massively too long defence about wheels size choice.
