I do like them but agree with Dan on the turning circle thing.

I can see that they could improve acceleration if the tyres are better or you have an overall smaller rolling circumerance. On the flipside of that you would have a lower cruising speed and worse fuel consumption.

Mate of mine at work runs an old BMW M3 and has a set of winter tyres on 16" rims and a set of summer tyres on 17" rims, I'm sure he isn't alone.
