Hi, just changed over from 18 inch CSL reps with Falken 452 tyres (225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rears) to 17inch BMW OEM 185 style wheels (Bridgestone Potenzas RE50 RFT 225/45/17s).

Now I may be imagining it but the car definately feels not as responsive / fast as with my previous set up. Maybe its just the tyres adjusting to the new camber/toe settings for the car?

Any wheel/tyre experts care to comment?
