I spec'd 16s for mine. Quite apart from the few miles extra range they look better as all black without the faux chrome spokes effect of the stock 17s.

Handles ok but as you know I am Miss Daisy driver.

Tyre (OSR) is 'BluEarth-A'. Just been to look. Is that an eco tyre or what?

eco is down to 3.6 miles/kWh now I have been using the air-con to warm up and also the steering wheel heater.

Hi Chris,

Think that might be a typo - the rears are wider than those on my NSX! 205/55-16.

Then again, you are a nutter and probably have Mugen wheels on it by now.
