In which model year did Blade front wheels change to 17 inch?

Any idea, IIRC they were 16" before this.

Cheers Hovis.

How easy is it to get decent 16" tyres these days...?

I've got a dymag front wheel in the garage which is 16" blade fitment, only it's a 17" rim so you can use proper tyres. Don't ask me why, right? I'm sure there's an OEM swap as well but I haven't a clue how you do it.

No idea what I'm thinking really!
