Tony - people choosing 20s are doing so for aesthetic reasons imo

this is a comfy german I reckon

not this

the number of cooking class 3 series wearing 19s is ridiculous. what's the gain? a bad back and expensive tyres is what

Christ in what way do 20s create a wafter? It'll ride like a flintstone cars ffs

Must buy into received wisdom...must buy into received wisdom...must buy into received wisdom...must buy into received wisdom...must buy into received wisdom...

the issue we have is experience Nick. I put 17s on my S2 and it rides a lot harder vs 16s. I have 19s on the M and it rides like it's not got any rubber (which it almost hasn't)

There was a time when 38 tonners rode on 20"...

There was a time when men drove beige cars.

You're thinking of 'Man Down'. They were otherwise all a sort of pinky-red, as I remember.

Is your Fabia the Mk1 with the PD130 engine?

If so get ready for modern diesels, they can be swines at this age used!

I'd love a modern A5/6, if you could get one with a PD130 that would be awesome. Damn EU regs.
