I put the 17s on because i had some yoko a048s on them. The ride was better (even with hard tyres), better grip as they are more compliant. Just 'better'

Only reason i sold them is that they dont fit on my car now, otherwise I would probably be running 17s all the time.

Fair enough, I've been having this internal debate about whether or not to switch to 18's for a few months now and it's annoying me tbh  :signLOL:

I know that TD 1.2's are the best performance value but I prefer the ultraleggera's but they're £1200 and I love the way my current wheels look. I really like my current wheels and doubt the performance improvement will be enough to be worth the switch but I still want to try and would like some winter wheels.

I just like to change things for the sake of it, I've done it with oil, tyres, intake (which was well worth it), brake discs and probably more. I think I have an addiction  :ashamed:

Well, 18s would massively improve the ride from 19s  :innocent:
