Thanks Haig, I'm pleased with the look and stance of the car especially as its still on stock springs. The wheels were "pre-enjoyed" (second hand) but in as new condition and came wrapped in Toyo Proxes T1-S tyres that had hardly been used. They look like Rota's but are infact made by Compomotive, who's factory is just down the road from me in Wolverhampton. They make the car feel way different (a little heavy) at low/town traffic speeds, but much more stable at motorway cruising speeds 70-80MPH. They are 7x15 ET35 rims and the tyres are 205/55 r15's.
What pressures are you guys with similar wheel/tyre sizes running on?
At the mo' i'm experimenting with 30 Psi front and 28Psi rear. This seems to have reduced some of the heaviness without making it feel light at speed.
