    I just put a set of 16" 5 star alloys on as a set of winter wheels.

    Not really taken with the look...

    I had 15" Holies last year...and i loved them...car was soooo much nipper. The car was like a go kart. The car was lower...I thought they looked OK as well...but I sold them...

    16" are not as much fun...and as they are runflats too...just as bumpy as my 18" 's...no lowering either

    No extra acceleration either :(

    So...I recommend 15"s...and may go back to them next year!

    Yeah I think someone did a whole load of posts on that recently...

    I miss my 15"s...but feel safer on runflats.

    Wished I could afford a car with a roof on it...

    Andy, we could start by welding his current one in place so it doesn't blow away to start with
