I'm finding them really good, actually seeing an advantage in grip than before, making it more like the Clio was! The alloys are bigger & wider than the original Honda ones though, now 15" by 195(all round), and the Alloys are offset by +38 which has brought them inline with the wheelarch.
Good thing I did get new alloys, although the tread on the front tyres was fine, the sidewalls on the inside were cracked all round, and quite deep in places. Rears ones were fine though(look new still, thank you last owner)
With lowering it, I'm not wanting to go too low, so for now I'm going to settle with some MG ZS springs & dampers, as being the same car as mine, they fit right on and are lower than the Honda/Rover setting. Will play around and see, wanting it for handling as opposed to looks, even if there is a bit of gap between the wheel and arch.
