Yep, they work quite well too. i was thinking about going for some of the 15 inch versions myself. Think they would look better on big bumper cars imo.

£100 cheaper too... The 15 s tend to come in 195/50 - I was wondering whether 195/45 would look better. What do you think?

tbh i dont think it will look that much different, its only 5mm difference in wall thickness, and it would handle slightly better on 50's i think.

How soon are you going to order them? I won't be doing it this month and would love to see some photos first (obviously I'll post some if it's the other way round)

You'd be surprised how much of a difference it makes, aesthetically as well as handling.

45 pro



Macky....just do it and bite the bullet! :wink:

Nice. Doesn't the extra rim conceal a little of the tyre, making it look even lower profile? Would a 50 handle better than a 45?
