[928uk] Genuine Cup 2 with 65 offset

[Ryan Tipler via 928uk]

100% agree with Simon. 

However, if I was in Brian's scenario if keep the 55's and do the shocks for a greater net benefit. 

Alternatively, do both. The wheels can be an early Christmas present...

The difference is very obvious on my own car, with the 55 far more affected by the condition of the condition of the road surface and tram-lining. It's far from un-drivable but is noticeable. I justify using them based on the fact that my driving is less demanding in the winter months although in certain ways that's not s particularly valid argument for using an inferior setup in the months when you probably need the most help from the car.
