quite subjective. I think the viento in your signature looks silly with those wheels. plus the handling and ride may suffer, for our car I want nice
squealy progressive tyres to practise rwd antics in.

re 14" tyre choice - my other car is a mx5 & they come with 14" wheels standard. When the bridgestone SO2 was the best tyre around you
could not buy it in 14". I'm pretty sure it's not the only one, I guess they reason that wrt performance tyres, performance motors
tend to have big wheels.
And I do have the caliper in the solid model too!!! I've measured the wheels & downloaded a pdf of my caliper of choice & reckon I have
about 1.5mm clearance, have to breathe in when I fit the wheels..
Nice looking de- dion in the pics - how does the axle weight compare to an escort one?
cheers
Bob
