Sell the silly size wheels and go back to 17"s or 18"s

if you're not careful i'm gonna start calling you captain sensible :grin:

Sorry but ditchfinders and 35 profile = lack of grip, we were all young once but as you get older you soon start thinking about the practical side of things and what makes a car handle even if that does not mean looking cool or scene.
