Not really a maintenance issue, but I find that the cars in stock at a local dealership give me a choice of 17" wheels or wait longer for delivery.
Are 17" wheels becoming standard, or are they unpopular for some reason and can't be shifted from sales floors? I seem to remember reading that 16" gave a better ride, but I test drove a Focus with 17s and didn't see a problem.
I would appreciate any comments based on the considerable experience of this group.
