agreed.............the 205s are defo better for handling as when I was on track with the 215s I could feel a lot more movement mid corner when the tyres were loading up resulting in a bit of oversteer on exit to the apex.

The 205s do leave the alloys exposed a little but the only way out of that is to steer clear of the kerbs .....................isn't that right Nikki 'stroppy knickers'

The extra .5" does make a difference in my opinion as it uses the 205 tyre to the best of its potential compared to being on the narrower 7J rim.

Other good thing...........is if you have a mk1 fitted with mk2 wheels..........the stance looks a lot more menancing and aggressive something which I like a lot
