Thinking of offloading the 20s and dropping down to 19s or 18s.
Which will be more usable and a smoother ride.

spotted these.

At the mo the price is nearer £1.5k than 1k, but hope to work on that.

I dont reckon I can find nicer than my 20s, but cant be doing with new front tyres every 6 months.And if they crack again I will be stuffed.

tyres crack or rims?

Rims wink

Super low profile tyres on big wheels offer very little cushioning over bumps and thus the rims crack as they take a big hit frown

Don't think they suit a modern car.
You should get it done with and get some of these:

Theyre well nice, id get them. Love the euro look, especially 'retro' style wheels. Theyre a bit like Ronal turbo's like said above.

18's will definately be better all round for handling, tyre cost and durability, and you can get the car even closer to the deck, which is always a win in my book.
