The VR6 has teh seat wheels on it. It has teh test today and the new tyre didn't turn up so we swapped sets

Its fine with them on, bit heavy but fine.

They're off a mk3 golf and its fine! It had 18's before and you wouldn't even notice

Seeing that is making me want a Leon... thinking about ditching the Omega for a decent TDCi and the Leon is high on the list.

They don't seem to overwhelm the car as much I thought they would when I saw the topic title.

Look good matey!

It was awful to drive with them on, heavy and slow and the brakes and steering felt dodgy.

And in the 24 hours that they were on the car, I lost count of how many lectures I got about 'minding the curbs' and 'be careful of the potholes'
