am i mad?

I am thinking of a wheel swap, there are a few wheels i like, and currently have the standard 19" vogue alloys fitted to 2007/8 cars.

However Heres my dilemma, go for 20"s or some more up to date 19"s. I like the idea of 20s but tyre prices etc are a lot steeper, faves at the mo are the twin spokes fitted to newer vogue se's, though there are some nice diamond turned ones on Ebay as well.

Though i also really like the 19's fitted to the 2010 vogue as standard (also a twin spoke design), cheaper to buy and cheaper on tyres.

So cool 20" or sensible 19" Bow down There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Well, I've just changed from 19's to 20's, so can you guess my reply? Laughing

For the constant nagging I gave myself about the 19's inferior looks (my opinion), I'm now admiring the 20's with deleriousness.

Tyre cost? Only once every so often. Worth it, I reckon. Si. <This is my name.

Hoppy, how are the Yoko's in winter conditions?

My new 20's have them and they seem good in the dry and wet, but I'd be very interested to know how they deal with I've and the odd bit of snow. Si. <This is my name.
