Some pic's of my last modifications. Simple mods, but with great effect.

- closed the rims with some strong tape
- removed 112 pounds of junk out of the car.

Those are standard 15" alloy rims with 195/55 tires. They will be replaced with narrow tires when they are worn out (next year). Preferably in combination with a light forged rim from Audi and a closed hubcap.
Now the tire: it could be 165/70, 175/65 or a 185/60. But is narrow always better? Assuming you could go faster trough corners with wider tires = less braking and accelerating?
