I’d like your expert opinion on upgrading the alloy wheels on my Toyota Innova Hycross GX(O) from 16 inches to 17 inches. I’ve found mint-condition “showroom removed” alloys at a good price from another source. The 16-inch alloys look far too small for such a big car. Is this upgrade a good idea?
The 17-inch wheels from the Hycross VX, or even the 18-inchers from the ZX, are a straight swap on the GX(O). However, the larger wheels will have a negative impact on ride quality. The 16-inch wheels have taller sidewalls, which help absorb sharp bumps before they reach the cabin. The larger wheels have shorter sidewalls, so you'll feel more of the road surface. If that isn't a deal-breaker, go ahead with the larger wheels. However, inspect them thoroughly for any damage, such as cracks or curb rash, before buying.
