I have Brocks B 21 17" wheels with et 35. Can I easily move them to,
say 1.4. 100Hp Lounge ! Comments would be welcome :)

Also have some of the members installed any modiefied exhausts to
their 500īs ?

Is the 500 also good to drive + the handling in winter ?

Thank you, Stormi.

There should be no problem fitting those wheels on a 500 with some low tires, but for sure its going to make the ride a little hard and the tire noise can be somewhat louder. They are very good looking wheels and would definitely suit the 500 well!!!

I think Animo is the only one here who has modified exhaust on her car. There are some videos of her car somewhere here on the forum where you can hear the sound! Here are the threads from Animo: http://www.500fans.com/showthread.php?t=640 and http://www.500fans.com/showthread.php?t=641

The 500 is very short wheelbased car, so it can be a little bouncy sometimes on uneven roads. Other than that its fine, but not sporty by any means. To be sporty it would need to have bigger wheels and new sportier spring setup. In our conditions its better if you have a car with esp on it, because it can be a little tail happy especially if there is a bumb in the middle of a corner.

The 500 is actually a really good car in winter conditions:icon_thumleft: I have 15" multispokes with not dubbed winterwheels for use in the cold season and I have not had any problems at all... Last winter I only experienced once that the ESP kicked in without me making it to:) But as Ville said, it is a short wheelbase car and that makes it quite bumpy and this can have an effect on rear end stability..... My car is a 1,2pop and it is more than comfy enough for me. I drove it this summer to Italy and back and were not tired in my back even on 16" multispoke summer wheels. But it is way more comfy with 15"..

My advice to you would be: Keep the Bravo and buy a 500:icon_thumleft: Just kidding, whatever you choose to do you will be happy with it. Just dont remember that the 500 is a car in a lower class than the Bravo, since it is originally based on the Panda platform:) Follow your heart my friendlol
