Thanks for the info everyone. The wheels are OEM wheels and aren't very heavy or anything. Tyre profile will be a bit smaller so it seems like I'll be noticing a change from my 16's with big tyres  :grin: I'll post some pics when I have the wheels and other bits on the car :afro:

Heavy, cheap replica wheels with crap tyres will cause tramlining, but quality or OEM wheels with good tyres will be just fine.

pffft. OEM wheels and very good tyres thanks. still get a little more tramlining.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.

Just to follow up on this, the wheels are on and I've noticed absolutely no tramlining or wandering, even on the terribly bumpy road to work  :grin: They look miles better than the old wheels too  :cool:
