Yep, yep. Keep the 17s for some usage, run the 15s for other things. That said, your car just hits all the right buttons exactly the way it is. At least for me, it does. Whether that's subjective or objective, I don't know, but I do know that cars that look as "right" as yours does aren't easy to come up with, and can easily be unbalanced by as little as one alteration.

I think I even prefer the 17s on your car to the possibility of 15s (which I love...), maybe because then it's instantly recognized as something closer to what it is? I dunno.

If it were mine, it'd be all maintenance from here. I might delete all the decals save the back one, but then that, too, is merely my aesthetic. And, if that thing is anywhere near as good to drive as it is to look at (Bob sure seemed to think so, but was indeed holding back out of respect for 1) your car, 2) a freshly built, untested car, and 3) a new car to him), then it must be insane.

Please be sure to get us some pics of that thing alongside some of the U.K.'s best roads!
