could you compare following original wheel sizes for me
165 HR 15 on 5.5x15 Steel 165 HR 15 on 5.5x15 Mahle 901.361.017.00 185 HR 14 on 5.5x14 Fuchs 901.361.016.10 I'd like to learn more about the pros and cons of those wheel types. I posted this in the "Originality and History" forum, because I don't want all the comments like "why don't you take 225 on 7x16" and similar ... I'm talking about factory options only (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Gustl |

 Here is a shot of polished Fuchs with 195/75x14 Michelins. Same diameter as OE 185x14 but a modern tire. |
