Hi guys- few quick questions:-

1) What are the lightest and affordable alloy wheels - preferably 15" and smaller - heard people say OZ wheels are quite good. Are ford alloys alot heavier?

2) I'm currently on escort gti's - will fitting lighter wheels make a noticeable difference to performance?

should do but really only if you know the cars handeling well

Team Dynamics Pro Race alloys (I think they are, as found on Neil from Fast Fords Fiesta) are a good lighweight alloy that won't break the bank.

Reducing the unsprung weight will pay dividends to how the car drives

Bit of dolar but OZ Ultra Leggera £500 odd for the 15's.

Oranoco - good that you mentioned 'un-sprung weight'

excellent - I shall look into those

My car just feels tired and a bit clumsy. She's tracked up and all the suspension has been overhauled (eibach springs, new dampers, polybushed, zs rear beam, new lower arms).

Currently running on escort gti's on 195/50/15's (terrible I profile I know ).

Thinking of either going down to 45's or just buying some new lightweight wheels altogether. Even considering sliding down to 14's.

Will have a good think

i think 15s give you the best of it all. good looks and handling...
