hi!
i'm considering about buying a set of alloy wheels for my p206, but i don't know if i should fit anything bigger than 14", since the engine is only 1.1 (60 hp) .. i really like oz hydra, but it's 7"x15"
does anyone of you guys know how would the fitting of a 7"x15" alloy wheels affect the overall performance of my car, eg. the fuel consumption etc ...? i have looked around but can't seem to find any 14" wheels that i like.
any suggestions?
thanks!

Well, wheel of that size would most probably affect the consumption and overall performance in a negative manner, so don't overdo it. Not so much the rim height, but the tire width will affect the rolling drag hence the consumption. Greater circumference of the tire (if you decide to change for the bigger) will reduce acceleration, and larger and heavier wheels will increase unsprung mass of the wheel, hence downgrade the handling. Personally, i wouldn't go over 14" for that engine, although 15" is not all that bad, but 7J is a bit too wide, but what do i know... ;D
BTW, does your nick mean "funny guy"?
