Albi blue 197

Picked up some megane alloys through eBay. They've been refurbed at some point In a darker anthracite, and came with 235/40/18 tyres.

These were replaced with a full set of 225/40/18 kumho ku39 sport tyres, I had a set of these on my Subaru and was happy with how they handled.

Given a good spray over with iron x and then sealed with poorboys wheel sealent.

Wheels look ace! I was looking at some 18s too and gotta say i've now made up my mind after looking at yours. Is there any difference in handling/going over potholes?
 
I must admit I was a bit tentative at first with giving the car some round the corners, but after a few days I feel a lot more confident and back to normal cornering speed I was before.

Not many potholes round here so no problems in regard to that, does feel a bit stiffer due to lower profile tyre than I had before.
