A very amusing video - thanks for brightening up my Monday :)

In my car's case, the 18 and 20" tyres are the same width (255 front, 275 rear), so the price difference is only around £20-30 per corner... I guess price is more closely related to section rather than profile.

Anyway, now I'm back on the 18s I'm growing to quite like the look of them - I realise it's only the temptation of the saucy 20" wheels that even made me consider the wholesome plump option to look at all frumpy. Love what you've got, guys :)

I am going to have my 20" refurbished in bright silver all over and fit tyres 255 x 40 and 275 x 40 this will give me a sidewall height of 102mm front and 110mm rear, so just ½" or 12mm less than it had.
