I am having a head vs heart things re wheels for my Red MK1

With the 14" I can use exisiting tyres and therfore cheaper



With the 15" I would have to buy tyres as well



So, would I be best sticking with the size the car came with or will an extra inch note make much difference (OH Matron!)

Going to the 15" would probably make tyres cheaper in the long run.

Visually though I can't help you chose between those 2 wheel options.

You'll have a much wider choice of tyres in 15 (which is why I have 15's at the moment) though the Equip-a-likes are v. pretty!

So why are you asking about 14"?
Are the top ones available in 14"?

get those 14 and re-use the tyres.
