The wheels wouldn't be going anywhere if I changed them. I quite like their design and haven't seen another set. I'm just acutely aware that there's not a great deal of decent tyres available in 185\60\14 any more. I'd love a set of the snowflake 480 GT 15"s that the black car on the VOC stand last year had, or a set of Ronal Turbos.

Failing that the Lavendel Grey five spokes I had on my ES would fit the bill nicely, provided I can buy them back. They run 195\50\15s which is smack bang in the heartland of the £55 quality tyre. T1-R Proxies, Yokohama Paradas, even GSD-3 F1 Goodyears if I stretched myself.

Mechanically the only the change I'd make would be a set of Koni Sports and some OEM springs \ bushes, becuase they're very tired and creak like a barn door in a gale.
