Hi Guys,
Got an offer to swap my 13inch ROH minilite with 14inch Jellybeans. What do you recon? take it or leave it? Jellybean is 205/60/R14, will stick out a bit so will need flares.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Keep the wheels you have. I've had jelly beans for over 30 years but reckon the minilite is the go.

* The Contessa is a classic rim, look good on any car
* The Spitfire is more bold, brash and boy-racer like and definitely a period look

205s are extra-wide, good for the rear but too big for the front

That being said, if you like the wide-tyred look they may be spot on

If you can spend the time to make the flares look good then I say go for it but in the end its a "personal styling decision" ( unless your racing and you need to fit bigger tyres )
