i think it all comes down to if you want the car for looks or performance. I wanted looks so went with the nice wheels, bonnet etc. I didnt want to drive a lightened shed around cos i was never going to do track days, 1/4 mile runs etc so there was no point. Depends what your doing with it i guess mate but if your using it as your every day too and from work car i no what i'de do.
Bit like a girl rele- you can go for looks and your everyday girl or you can go for your performance girl- a one night stand munter lol

On a billiard table smooth track maybe, but on the roads I beg to differ. I had 17s on mine when I got it and it was not predictable in corners due to tramlining and bump steer.
I switched back to std 15s and I can now push it harder through any given corner and the ride quality is far superior.

i hope your right, standard suspension or just run of the mill lowered springs then 17s would be fine, on apex energy springs and kyb gas shocks there a nightmare. also the engine mounts are shagged, keeps lunging and clunking while trying to do 20 in a 40 on a bumpy road behind some stupid old fucking biddy. also had chavs hassling me just at halfords about the bonnet 'dats wel fat innit' FUCK OFF. i only went in to replace the number plates which a friendly police woman told me were illegal and needed changin asap. luckily it was work mates wife who was off duty. all in all im a bit RAAAA and will be happy with it on friday when i get the stuff done i want on it......
david, i put 20 quid in and guessed at 10 quid, pound a litre, 10 litres, 75 miles. clocked it tonight and did about 140 on the 20 quid, thats a 350 tank in a perfect world....

with the greatest of respect to jedi i brought it for the power and handling. anything else was bonus! every way out of rugeley has shit roads so after a week of ownership im ready for some compromise... your probably right on the fuel as well but sam did clock 400+ miles to a tank remember...
