Had a look on gheybay and there's some one selling som 14inch R888's at a reasonable price.

How for standard 14" bbs wheels which of these should I go for?

205/55-14 at £95 each.
185/60-14 at £68 each.

They're to keep the gearing right on my iS.


TIA :D

Err get a set of 15" bbs and get 195/50 r15s. I suspect without the aide of a tyre calculator that they will be a little bit undersized, but compared the shit feel you'd get with those 14"s I wouldn't care one bit.

A plus point is that they are around £65 new and the PBMW boys sell them once they have put a few laps on them...
