Leave it standard, its too nice and mint to do anything to it

15's, tyres are cheaper and easier to source, and your handling will be better

I'd go for a lighter weight alloy, something by team dynamics or compomotive, and get 195/45 tyres for better handling, budget wise rain sports or proxies, or if you have more money F1's or PE2's

f1's are only £5 a corner more than proxies ;)
