I've had my EP3 for around a year now and have been rolling on stock wheels with a very slight drop (under an inch probably)
I've been looking at new suspension set ups and wheels, and I love how 17s look on the car but it also bothers me how tiny the rotors look with 17s on them.
I've read up on the type-s 5 lug conversion and checked all of my local junk yards and none if them have anything from a type-s, and I'm not sure if I want to pay some of the high prices I've seen online for the conversion + shipping.
My main question is does the tiny rotor look bother anyone else? Is there any simple rotor/caliper swaps to fill the gap a little more? I'm not interested in spending over a grand on a BBK that I won't really use as it is just a DD and backroad cruiser, but I've read a few things about mini cooper rotors fitting with a caliper that I don't remember.
I hate wanting to make a change in performance parts purely for aesthetics, so I definitely want to hear some opinions.
