200q20v Digest, Vol 45, Issue 10

[Ed Kellock]

An excellent recommendation Ingo.

I did some comparison with a bathroom scale recently and the stock
15x7.5 BBS with oversize tires (225/60-15) weighed less than the
flat-face wheels with proper size snows and another set with one size
smaller (205/60-15) Nokian NRWs.
