Is that the 1.6 and 1.2 versions :?:

Yes, they're the same.

205/40-17 is standard, and the standard wheel offset is et55 (on a 7" rim).

same wheel spec as RS133 with cup pack, but with 205s like many change to.

Maybe the same fitments work on the wind as the RS133 and you need to drop down to the same overall size as 195/40/17 if going with offsets less than et43 on a 7" rim.

Found 4 15" white Enkei wheels for 235€ in new state.

(picture from google, but they're the same

I was at W&D saturday morning for the coilover kit negotiations. He also does rims & tires and mentioned I was looking for a winter set and he had some Enkei wheel hanging on his wall (I though it was decorative) and he said they've been up for sale for a while.. he bought them off someone that had one of the 4 wheels broken. He ordered a new one but hasn't sold them since.

He mentioned its alot cheaper getting winter tires for 15".. just as singlespeed and araf said

The older members here are good for something then.

I haven't bought my winter tyres yet (though I have the wheels ready). Let me know if you find a good 205/50-15 M&S tyre.

Look into 195/55/15 which is practicaly the same diameter as 205/40/17. Its a common size and all the makers of quality tyres make them and a slightly narrower width is ideal for cutting through water and snow/slush.

I would, but I'm running my Rainsports on the rear, and will only have M&S on the front. In addition, a lot of the winer treads now want width to run on top of the snow, rather than cutting through.
