stevefly Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Alloys and tyres are about 100 miles old bought brand new a couple of weeks ago but I have decided to stay with my mini lites, these retail at £1000 per set plus £240 for the tyres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstreak-Andy D Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 See if you can find the offset marked on the casting, or give a quick measurement from hub jace to outer rim. 7J or 6? whats the price you’re looking for, and where are you based? Good luck with sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL290005 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Your going the wrong way for comfort 13” are better than 15” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefly Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 I would have thought bigger circumference less rolling resistance less likely too feel lumps and bumps ? maybe a slight loss in feel and handling . anyway they will fill my wheel arches out a bit more, I will try them this afternoon and if they don't feel and look better I will have a rethink.

Olliebeak Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I changed from 15"TD type wheel with Toyo Proxes to 13" Superlites with Kunho tyres. The car is much better with the 13", more comfort on the road and more responsive handling, I would try the 15" before selling the Minilites. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David tucker Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 15”with 205 tyres look the part but 13” are so much smoother on the road as you will find out good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenstreak-Andy D Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Your Westie looks same as my old Westie. Minilites work really well imo. I tried 15” then 13” both on R888, much preferred the 13” from both look and ride / handling. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
