View Full Version : New shoes for the Hybrid ROUND 2 LOL
ok so i wanted a change of wheel and got hold of a set of 15" superleggeras, fitted these but wasnt to sure. they looked abit smaller than the willy wheel even tho they were the same size :? . i liked the design but thought they wold look good 1 size bigger, put a wanted post up on cs and did'nt think id hear anything as they are a rare wheel, as luck would have it 5 mins later got a reply from matty w who said his mate had a set for sale :D , few pm's and another journey up and down the m1 i have them fitted to my car. not sure which set of 15's to sell at the moment but one need to go as im abit skint lol

David Its always nice to see pictures of yours because the colour looks so vibrant.
After seeing that pic, I think that I might go back to normal bump strips to break up the side of the car a bit more.

Are the 16's a performance hit versus the 15s? Are the rotational circumferences the same?

when i had my 16" pro race 1.2's on they were a really low profile to keep the rotational circumferences very similar, plus mines low so didnt want any catching issues. I have since gone back to willy wheels as i managed to get some primas really cheap in great condition. To be honest, i really love the handling and comfort of the 195/50/15's when compared to either my low profile 16's or 15's. The 15's are dirt cheap for tyres too so its a great compromise.
here is how mine sits at the minute:
