Only done a couple of short runs but the steering feels just as light and positive and the ride feels fine but not pushed it, but at the mo it feels
really good.

Shouldnt do if the rolling radius is the same.
It depends on what tyres you have on.
ie a 13" 80% profile could be the same circumference as a 17" 40% profile tyre.

2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Sorry, I prefer the other wheels....think they suit the car better. Not sure why though - just opinion. Sorry that was very constructive! I do like
the seats though....tres cool....Oli.
