Wot he said! I'm just the same; 18" wheels in winter and 20" in summer. The car does feel better on 20" wheels.

DVB-T and XCarlink now removed as redundant. 2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior.

Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later) 1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850! |

in my watch list...
I've discovered a place nearby that does wheel exchange - if they're not in stock, they will fit loan wheels for free and refurb your own. Visiting them on Saturday to see what's what and check the quality of the finish of the exchange wheels they offer.

The Avus is a fine looking wheel just a bit small for the S8 IMO. Especially in 2015 where a MK7 golf GTI on 18s looks too small... |
