After years of searching diligently I finally found a perfect set of larger wheels.

Looks good, although seems less noticeable that I expected. Is there much of a difference in the ride quality?

Hi Cees
I purchased a set of 15" Bundts from Maxilite, 6 months ago. While the ride is pretty much the same, the wet weather handling and baking is vastly improved over the old 14x195x75 tyres. The 15x205x60 profile Michelinsa have transformed the wet weather handling, in particular. Cheers
