after bending 2 of my wheels i have been running 15's on the front and the usual 16's on the back

i think it handles slightly better than it did before. anyone else run different diameter wheels?

both set have 195/45 tyres.



if i manage to get a claim from the service station im thinking of getting pro race 1.2's in 16's so that i can have the same style of wheel but in a different size. would there be a demand for a set of 4 wheels with 2 diameters?

VX220 was designed to have different sized wheels but vauxhall decided not to listen to lotus and it was cheaper to get wheels all the same size

Dont think its primarily to do with cost, although that probably played a part. Its more to do with easier handling.
