New Wheels

Postby SimonR » Wed Jan 28, 2009 3:55 pm

I just bought some new wheels - no, not a whole new car but actually 5 wheels and tyres - they were an eBay special:

I thought it was a fairly good deal, especially since they've got nearly new P600s on them!!

The only thing that I'm slightly concerned about is that my car is currently running on 16" lattice wheels (which I'm given to believe are fairly rare on an XJ-S, although my '40 also has them) and I wondered if the 15" standard wheels would significantly change the ride quality.

I've had two XJSs - the first on standard wheels and my current one on the bigger rims and the current car always handled a lot better but I don't know if this is as a result of the wheels or just that my second car is much better set up.

Any thoughts about all that?!
