A80 B4 Aftermarket wheels

[Per Lindgren]

Robert,

If ride comfort is your ultimate goal when buying new wheels, you should stick
to 15". 16" tires have less sidewall, so they dont bounce that much. This is
great when racing (not that much flex) but you have to give up the comfyness.

Personally I'm going for 17" Porsche Cup wheels in 112/5 on my B4 cab, but this
is much more difficult as I have to do a complete brake swap with some S2 parts.
