and that's why I suggested the Kumhos.  You're going to have to go 17" to
have any fun, I'd find a set for shows and to be original when needed ( I
have a mounted set of two slots and single slots for that purpose ) and 17"
for driving it like it was meant to be driven.  To be honest, when I first
put the 15" wheels and normal sized tires on the car, it was frightening, I
was not used to that wallowing around.
