Thanks Professor! But if that compliment was in fact not directed at me then I guess I am a bit of a tool

205/50/15 - Issues?

I am looking to go with this same size set up on OEM wheels. Any issues with rubbing, speedometer error (showing too fast or slow), acceleration, etc.? Thanks in advance.

2011 JCW with OZ Alleggerita Wheels

Just installed these 17x7 O.Z. Alleggerita HLT with Michelin Pilot Supersport 215/45ZR-17. The ride and handling is fantastic. I don't know whether the improvement came from the tires or lighter wheels. The Alleggeritas weigh only 14.3 pounds compared to my Challenge Spoke wheels at over 23 pounds apiece.
